Property taxes

Property tax relief for older homeowners

• Poverty exemption: Michigan law lets the local board of review exempt all or part of the taxes on a home for owners who meet income and asset rules. Apply with the Van Buren Township assessor at Van Buren Township Hall, 46425 Tyler Rd, (734) 699-8900, using state Form 5737.
• Homestead Property Tax Credit: a state income tax credit that helps qualified homeowners and renters with property taxes, filed with your Michigan return.
• Principal Residence Exemption: make sure your home is listed as your principal residence, which exempts it from up to 18 mills of local school operating taxes.
• Behind on taxes? The county treasurer collects delinquent taxes and can explain payment plans before foreclosure.
