Dear Friend:
This letter is to inform you of a new program to help pay your delinquent property taxes up to $30,000 if you face a hardship preventing you from paying your property taxes.
The program is called the “Step Forward Michigan Loan Rescue Program for Property Tax Assistance,” and is helping some eligible homeowners pay off their delinquent taxes. You may be eligible if the following criteria apply to you:
1. Owner Occupied Homes Only – You must live in your home, no land contracts.
2. Delinquent Taxes – You must owe delinquent taxes, interest, or fees on that home.
3. Hardship – You must face a hardship preventing you from paying your taxes.
4. Cash Reserves – Less than 1.5 times your annual property tax bill in your account.
Applicants are encouraged to apply with help from our partner agencies, including: Community and Home Improvement, Oakland County; Community Housing Network; GreenPath; JVS; Lighthouse; New Hope; OLHSA; Southwest Housing Solutions; and University of Detroit-Mercy Legal Aid Clinic.
With the help of your certified housing counselor, apply for the “Step Forward Michigan Loan Rescue Program” online at www.stepforwardmichigan.org or by calling 866-946-7432. Please contact our office at 248-858-0624 and we will get you connected with a certified housing counselor to begin the application process.
Taxpayers with delinquent taxes should schedule a Taxpayer Assistance Meeting with
our office to arrange a payment plan and prevent foreclosure.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Andy Meisner
Oakland County Treasurer
