                                                       DEFERMENT INFORMATION

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 the township

treasurer by the date summer taxes are due.  A valid deferment permits property taxes to be paid by the date winter taxes are due each year,

without any additional penalty and interest, as long as the new payment deadline is met.
