Summer Property Taxes
Summer property taxes
are mailed on or about July 1 of each year.
Payment may be made without penalty and interest from July 1 through
August 31, or the first business day thereafter. After August 31 a four
per cent (4%) penalty and a one-half per cent (1/2%) per month (or
portion thereof) interest charge is added. Delinquent summer property
taxes may be paid at the Treasury office until February 28.
Winter Property Taxes
Winter property taxes
are mailed on or about December 1 of each
year. Payment may be made without penalty and interest from December 1
through February 14, or the first business day thereafter. After
February 14 a four per cent (4%) penalty and a one-half per cent (1/2%)
interest charge is added. Delinquent winter property taxes may be paid
at the Treasury office until February 28.
From March 1 through March 31 delinquent property
taxes should be remitted to Patrick Dohaney, Oakland County Treasurer,
1200 N. Telegraph, Pontiac MI 48341 after obtaining a revised statement
from the City of Farmington Hills Treasury Division. After March 31,
payments may be sent to Oakland County without a revised statement.
Payments of current property taxes may also be
made at local branches of Bank of America,
Citizens First, or dropped off in the night depository located near the
Eleven Mile Road entrance to City Hall or the green drop box located on
the traffic island between City Hall and the Police Station.
Deferment of summer property taxes until February
14 is available for eligible senior citizens and handicapped persons.
Applications forms are available at the Treasury Division and must be
filed by September 15 of the tax year.
By law, failure to receive a tax bill does not
waive the tax or any penalty and interest for late payment. The 2008 Tax
Rates are shown below.
