COVID-19 Message:

2020 property tax statements were mailed April 1 with due dates of May 11 and November 10.  Per the Governor's Executive Order #20-005, penalties shall be waived if payment is made within 60 days after May 11.  The deadline to distribute tax collections to the other entities - cities, towns, schools, townships, etc. - has not been postponed, therefore we ask that payment is made as soon as feasible.
