Application for Deferment of Summer Taxes
Provisions of the General Property Tax Act,
Public Act 206 of 1893, as amended, allows local tax collecting
units to defer the collection of taxes for property owners who meet
strict eligibility requirements set forth in the act. An owner may
file a completed deferment of property tax form with his or her city
or township treasurer by the designated deadline. A valid deferment
permits property taxes to be paid at a later date, without any
additional penalty and interest, as long as the new payment deadline
is met.
Property Transfer Affidavit
This form must be filed whenever real estate or
some types of personal property are transferred (even if you are not
recording a deed). The completed Affidavit must be filed by the new
owner with the assessor for the city or township where the property
is located within 45 days of the transfer.
