Property Tax Information Summer Taxes Summer taxes are due on September 14 of each year. Deferment of Summer Taxes - ANNUAL FILING REQUIRED 471, Application for Deferment of Summer Taxes Schedule: *Early July : Bill notice sent and summer property taxes become a lien until paid. *By September 14: If taxpayer is eligible, Tax Deferment Request Form must be received by local city or township treasurer. *Not later than September 14 (may be earlier or later depending on township or city charter): Payment must be received. *After September 14 (may be later or earlier depending on the city charter): 1% interest per month will accrue if the payment is late. The taxpayer must include the following late penalty interest fees for late payments. Payment Received Date Amount of Tax Due September 15-30 102% of Base Tax (Base Tax, plus 1% administrative fee, plus 1% interest penalty) October 1-31 103% of Base Tax (Base Tax, plus 1% administrative fee, plus 2% interest penalty) November 1-30 104% of Base Tax (Base Tax, plus 1% administrative fee, plus 3% interest penalty) December 1-31 105% of Base Tax (Base Tax, plus 1% administrative fee, plus 4% interest penalty) January 1-31 106% of Base Tax (Base Tax, plus 1% administrative fee, plus 5% interest penalty February 1-28 107% of Base Tax (Base Tax, plus 1% administrative fee, plus 6% interest penalty) March 2, 2026: Payment must be received by this date, or the property tax will be considered delinquent and turned over to the county treasurer on March 3. The County Treasurer may impose additional penalties and interest after this date. What if I make payment after September 14th? You will owe interest on the unpaid tax at a rate of 1% per month, unless you live in a city where the charter provides for a different collection date. In addition, if the tax remains unpaid on March 1, it will be returned to your county treasurer as delinquent for collection at the same time and in the same manner as other delinquent property taxes. What if I live in a city which, by charter, requires summer property taxes to be paid before or after September 14th? In that case, the due date established by charter prevails. Contact your local treasurer or the collecting treasurer for that information. How can I confirm the payment was received? If paying by check, please check with your bank first to confirm that the check has been cashed. If you escrow your taxes, please check with your mortgage or escrow company. As the taxpayer, you're liable for the tax payment. What if I did not receive a tax bill - am I still liable for the tax? Yes. While the collecting treasurer is to send tax bills out to all known taxpayers, if the tax bill is returned due to a bad address or name, as the property owner you are still liable for the tax. Not receiving a tax bill, does not alleviate the tax burden. If you have not received a tax bill or have received late bills, you should check with your local treasurer or assessor to confirm that they have the correct owner name and address for billing purposes. Will the county or local collecting unit impose an administration fee for collecting the tax on behalf of a local unit of government? The General Property Tax Law provides that a local property tax collecting unit may add a property tax administration fee of not more than 1% of the total tax bill per parcel. Winter Taxes 2025 Winter Taxes are due on February 16, 2026 .

About Us Geography According to the United States Census Bureau , the township has a total area of 35.0 square miles (90.7 km²), of which, 34.2 square miles (88.5 km²) of it is land and 0.9 square miles (2.2 km²) of it (2.43%) is water. History Early pioneers began to make their way from the east coast of the United States to southern Michigan by the early 1830's. Congress was anxious to open up this new frontier and in 1826 authorized the survey and construction of a territorial road that would run from Detroit to the west, to Marshall and beyond. The lure of fertile ground, abundant timber and wild game brought settlers along this old Indian trail, with some ending up in what is today Fredonia Township. The very first settler in Fredonia Township was Thomas Burland. Born and reared in Yorkshire, England, he brought his wife and three daughters in 1831 by sleigh to the newly organized Calhoun County. The next year they began building a log cabin on ground they had settled in Section 24, near the present-day Township Hall at F Drive South and Old 27. Mr. Burland had been a farmer in England, and it is said that he chose a beautiful spot for his home and farm. He owned the first team of horses and the first cattle brought into the township. John Huston, from Rochester, New York, was the second settler in the township, arriving with his wife and three children by covered wagon in 1833. He planted the first orchard in the township and that same year sowed his first wheat on a 240-acre farmstead. His daughter Sarah was born on September 28, 1834 and was the first female child born in the township. Fredonia Township was organized in 1838. The first town meeting was held at the home of Ebby Hyde on April 2, 1838. The first officers chosen by the Township were John Huston as Supervisor and Putnam Root as Clerk. Demographics As of the census of 2020, there were 1585 people, 757 households, and 659 families residing in the township. The average age was 48.6 years and 23.6% of the population was over age 65. Employment rate was 55.3% The home ownership rate was 90.9%. The median rent was $853. For additional Census details, visit US Census Bureau.
