How much am I charged if I pay my summer taxes late?
Summer taxes are due on September 16th. The law requires that one percent interest be charged for every month or portion of a month that taxes are overdue. If you have a bill from an earlier month, that amount will no longer be accurate. A 3% late payment penalty will be added February 15th through February 29th. As of March 1st, taxes become delinquent. You can call our office to find out the amount due in the month that you are paying.
Each year on March 1, any unpaid real (residential) property taxes must be turned over to the Kalkaska County Treasurer for collection, and additional fees are assessed. The county treasurer will eventually begin foreclosure proceedings on properties with unpaid taxes.
