Local property tax resources

Find Your County's Property Tax Information

We're starting with three nearby counties. Choose your county below for official property tax resources. No directory searches or account creation on our website.

Outside These Three Counties? You're Still Welcome Here.

Our initial outreach focuses on Shiawassee, Genesee, and Saginaw counties, but our mission extends across Michigan. We may still be able to provide guidance or help you identify local organizations and resources. Our assistance program is not yet accepting applications.

If you're facing an urgent foreclosure deadline, contact your county treasurer or foreclosing governmental unit immediately.

Online records may not include every fee or reflect the amount required to stop foreclosure. Confirm your current payoff amount and deadlines with the responsible county office.

Understand the process

🗓

Property Tax Timeline

Michigan's general process includes delinquency, forfeiture, and foreclosure. Dates and rights depend on the tax year and individual case. Never rely on a general timeline to calculate your deadline.

What to Ask Your County

Request your current balance, tax years owed, fees, exact deadlines, foreclosure status, and whether any payment arrangement or hardship options are available.

Legal Help

If foreclosure is threatened, seek legal advice promptly. Michigan Legal Help offers legal information and ways to find assistance; it is not a substitute for an attorney.

Financial Relief Options

Ask about current local assistance, exemptions, and community programs. Availability and eligibility change. Do not assume a past program is still accepting applications.

Preventing Future Problems

Staying current starts with a plan. Keep your tax notices, check whether property taxes are included in your mortgage payment, review possible exemptions, and set aside money for upcoming tax bills.

Coming in the future: Co-Founder Bob plans to offer homeowner education classes focused on preventing property tax delinquency, understanding tax obligations, and building long-term financial stability. Class details will be announced when available.
