Treasurer's Corner

Our Casco residents will be adjusting to a few changes this 2006 summer tax season. Everyone will have received a copy of the summer tax bill  (yellow copy) in the mail even if you have a mortgage company. A copy of this bill has also been sent to your mortgage company, Please keep this copy for income tax purposes. Our office is initiating a new tax bill format and is printing bills on site.  We wanted you to see the various units that are collecting summer taxes for the first time. Those of us in the East China School District and the Richmond School District will be paying 100% of local school taxes during the summer season. Anchor Bay School District  residents pay 50% of school taxes in summer, the remainder is on the December bill.  Also, St. Clair County has increased its collection of Operating rates again this summer. The balance will be billed in December. By summer 2007 we will have a total shift of County Operating mills to the summer bill. These tax shifts, of course will mean a smaller tax bill in December.

You may pay your taxes at First State Bank (Richmond Branch) or Belle River Community Credit Union. Township hours for accepting payment are Monday through Thursday 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. A drop box is available for payments by check after hours. Please do not bring cash to the township offices.

Late payment of summer taxes (any payment after September 15) will result in a 1% per month late fee paid to the County and Schools. The last day to pay winter taxes will be February 28th, 2007
