You should receive your Summer tax bill and or copy in the first week of July and your Winter bill should be mailed to you the first week of December. Please be sure to read your tax bills as they contain a lot of information, i.e. Due dates, office hours of operation, including holidays, drop box location, return receipt rules, etc.. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to e-mail or call us by telephone.
If you find any discrepancies on you bill or have any questions, please feel free to contact us immediately at (616) 866-0622 ext. 3 or 5.
1) To avoid late fees, please allow extra time when paying by MAIL or BILL PAY thru your bank. Please write LEGIBLY and include the parcel number(s) and telephone number.
2) Post marks are NOT accepted. A DROP BOX is located by the front door & Checked regularly.
3) Look at the top section of your bill under "Tax Detail" to verify you have the 100% Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) if you qualify. If you think you qualify for a PRE and don't have it, please contact our Assessor, Jane Kolbe @ 616-302-7302. The exemption reduces the school operating tax on your tax bill.
