Payment responsibilities

Receiving and paying your tax bill

Property-owner responsibilities

  • Property owners are responsible for knowing a tax bill is due and obtaining a copy if one is not received.
  • Notify the Township when your mailing address changes. Not receiving a bill does not remove interest or penalties.
  • Michigan law requires the property owner to receive the original tax bill.
  • If an agent pays your taxes, the agent should request a current bill each summer and winter season.

Mail and drop-box payments

  • The Township drop box is checked daily. Payments deposited on or before the due date are considered timely.
  • A receipt is available on request for a drop-box payment.
  • Checks for current taxes should be payable to Pleasant View Township.
Late payments

Interest, penalties & delinquent taxes

Michigan law limits a treasurer’s ability to remove interest and penalties. Contact the Township promptly if a payment will be late.

Late summer taxes

Interest of 1% per month is added after the summer due date. On February 15, the Township may add the authorized 3% late penalty.

Late winter taxes

After February 14, the Township may add the authorized 3% late penalty before taxes are returned delinquent.

Beginning March 1

Unpaid real-property taxes are transferred to the Emmet County Treasurer. Payments must then be made through the County and are subject to additional charges.

Need an exact payoff?

Contact the Township for current taxes or Emmet County for delinquent taxes before submitting payment.

Current MCL 211.44 permits a 3% late penalty after February 14; County interest begins after delinquent taxes transfer March 1. Your tax bill and the responsible Treasurer’s payoff amount control.
