I'm a senior citizen on a fixed income. My neighbor told me that I may be able to defer my summer property tax payment. Is there such a program?
If you are 62 years of age or older and have an annual household income less than $40,000, you may defer paying your summer property taxes until February 14th. This will enable you to use your Michigan Property Tax Refund to help pay your total property tax bill. Forms for this deferral are available at the Treasurer's Department. This form must be filled out and returned to the Treasurer's Department, along with a copy of your income tax return and photo identification before September 15th.Summer Deferment Form (PDF).
