I pay my property taxes through my mortgage company. What happens when I pay off my mortgage?
Your lender may require you to pay your local property taxes monthly along with your mortgage payment. If so, the Treasurer's Department sends your tax bill directly to the mortgage company, bank or servicing agent who handles your mortgage. If you pay off your mortgage, your mortgage company must notify the City that it no longer wants the tax bill. Once we receive notice from them, we will delete the mortgage code from your bill and you will then receive your property tax bill from us directly at your home address. Please keep in mind that the tax bills are mailed at the end of June and November, if you do not receive your bills within 2 weeks, please contact the Treasurer's office, 248-583-0845, for a duplicate bill.
Please be aware that if a mortgage company requests your bill, we are required to send them your bill.
