Wayne County Treasurer Eric R. Sabree announced Wednesday that his office will be open on Saturdays beginning February 18, 2023, to host more appointments for taxpayers to make payment arrangements for delinquent taxes.
The office will be open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. through March 25, 2023, for taxpayers who make an appointment to make payments or enter a payment plan. For information, go to https://www.waynecounty.com/elected/treasurer/contact-us.aspx.
Treasurer Sabree has urged county taxpayers who owe property taxes for 2020 or prior years to get into payment plans by March 14 or pay their property tax bills in full by March 31. Otherwise, they risk having the property go into foreclosure.
“While my office remains committed to doing everything it can to keep people in their homes – through payment arrangements, for example — we also have to comply with the law,” Sabree explained. “It is very important that individuals who owe back property taxes for the year 2020 or prior either pay the tax bill in full or work with our office to make payment arrangements.” Since 2017, the number of homes foreclosed upon by the county has decreased by 49 percent.
The Wayne County Treasurer’s Office has several options to help residents stay in their homes, including financial hardship extensions and other payment plans.
