All properties located in the City of Wyandotte receive two tax bills per year.

1. A summer tax bill which is mailed around August 1, and is payable through September 26 without penalty.
2. A winter tax bill which is mailed around December 1, and is payable through February 26 without penalty.

For billing accuracy, it is important that you keep your information current with The City of Wyandotte. Some examples of changes include:

Change of Mortgage Company – contact the Treasurer’s Office 734-324-4570
Principle Residence Information – contact the Assessor’s Office 734-324-4510
Transfer of Ownership – contact the Assessor’s Office 734-324-4510
Change of Address – contact the Assessor’s Office 734-324-4510

If you elect to pay property taxes through an escrow account, your property tax bill will be sent directly to your escrow agent.

If you do NOT receive your property tax bill by the 3rd week of August/December and do NOT have an escrow account, please call 734-324-4570 for a duplicate copy.

FAILURE TO RECEIVE YOUR PROPERTY TAX BILL DOES NOT WAIVE PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS OR PENALTY AND INTEREST.

Back to top of pageDeferment of Taxes

Deferments are available for senior citizens and legally disabled persons with an annual income of less than $40,000.00. This deferment is for a homeowner’s principle residence only and allows summer taxes to be paid on or before February 14 of the following year without penalty. Qualified persons must complete this form annually, and return to the Treasurer’s Office.

Back to top of pagePayment Information

If you pay your own taxes (rather than an escrow agent), a return addressed envelope is provided with your property tax bill. Please utilize this return envelope when paying your current year property taxes to ensure accurate and expedient delivery.

Your property tax bill can also be paid at the following locations:

  •  City Hall, Treasurer’s Office, 3131 Biddle Avenue (City Hall has an after hour mail slot located left of the front door)
  •  Monroe Bank & Trust, Downriver, 467 Eureka Road
  •  WY/South Federal Credit Union (Members Only), 269 Oak Street
  •  Wyandotte Federal Credit Union (Members Only), 1280 Biddle Ave.

Acceptable forms of payment include cash, check, money order, debt or credit cards. Credit and debit card payments are only accepted at City Hall, 3131 Biddle Avenue. There is a convenience fee to customers for payments made with debit or credit cards. The fee is collected and paid to the service provider, not the City of Wyandotte. Checks are accepted only as conditional payment. If the check is denied upon presentation to the bank, the tax will be restored as unpaid to the tax roll without further notice and will be subject to all applicable interest and penalty charges.

When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us either to use information from your check to make a one-time electronic funds transfer from your account or to process the payment as a check transaction. When we use information from your check to make an electronic funds transfer, funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day your payment is received, and you will not receive your check back from your financial institution.
