Important news from the Windsor Charter Township Treasurer for Summer 2024 Tax Season
- Postmark dates are not accepted as payment date.
- Tax payment due date is stated on the front of the tax bill. The due date means the payment must be in our office on or before that date, by the end of the business day. Payments can be paid with cash, checks or money orders.
- It is the property owner’s responsibility to make sure the tax bill gets paid regardless of whether you have a mortgage company pay the bill or not. We attempt to mail all property owners a copy of their tax bill.
- Failure to receive a tax bill does not waive the interest and penalty.
- The legal responsibility for paying on the correct parcel of property rests with the taxpayer. The treasurer will not be responsible for payment on wrong descriptions. The sum stated is for taxes assessed upon the described property for the year stated on the front of the bill.
- Payments can be received during office hours, by mail or use of the township’s secure drop box, just outside the township office door. The box can be used to receive Tax Payments and Election Materials only. Payments will be processed on the next business day. NO CASH PAYMENTS should be placed in the drop box! Cash payments should be for the exact amount and paid in person at the Township office. Checks are accepted as conditional payment(s) only (until check has cleared). If paying by check, please include your phone number. We do not accept credit or debit cards. The Dorothy Hull Library does not accept tax payments.
- HAVE YOU MOVED? If there are ANY changes in description, address, or ownership, it is the property owner’s responsibility to notify the Equalization & Property Description Department, 1045 Independence Blvd., Charlotte MI 48813 (517-543-4104).
- FOR SUMMER TAX BILL DEFERMENT/DELAYED PAYMENT PROGRAM see details posted on the township web site: www.windsortownship.com.
- Summer 2024 tax bills are due in the Township office on or before September 16, 2024 @ 6pm, 405 W Jefferson, Dimondale MI 48821
- Additional late payment interest, @1% per month, will be applied beginning September 17, 2024.
- Any Summer 2024, real property, taxes not paid by February 28, 2025 will be considered delinquent and turned over to the Eaton County Treasurer for collection.
