Taxes

The Bloomfield Township Treasurer's Office mails approximately 46,000 tax statements each year. Informational tax statements are mailed to homeowners who have a mortgage company paying their taxes. If your tax payment is made by mail, you will receive a receipt by return mail.

Disbursement of Tax Dollars

The Bloomfield Township Treasurer's Office Collects and distributes your tax dollars to the following entities:

  • State of Michigan
  • Oakland County
  • Oakland Community College
  • Oakland County Intermediate School District
  • School districts within Bloomfield Township
  • Bloomfield Township General Fund, Police, Fire, Library and Public Transportation Authority.

Summer Taxes

Summer Taxes are due July 1st and payable July 1st – September 14th without interest. The tax statements, which are mailed out in June, are called the summer and/or school taxes. Half of the school taxes are billed on the July statement, with the exception of the Pontiac School District, which bills 100% of its school taxes on the July 1st tax statement. Beginning in 2003 the State Education portion of your taxes is billed 100% on the summer tax statement. The County Operating portion of your taxes are billed on the summer statement. July taxes become a lien on the property on July 1st and are subject to interest on payments received after September 14th.
