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.

Election Information Upcoming Election Any upcoming election information will be posted here. Make sure you are registered to vote at your current residence. Refer to the following documents if you're not certain you are registered, if your address changed, for eligibility for registering to vote, learning how to register, and special registration for those in the military and living overseas. Voter Information Voter Registration Form Become an Election Inspector If you have ever wondered how to be more active in government, here is a great opportunity. Election inspectors (Michigan’s legal term for poll workers) play an essential role in Michigan elections. They perform election duties ranging from processing voters and absentee ballots to securing voting equipment and publishing results. Contact Township Clerk for additional information Request an Absentee Ballot All registered voters in Michigan have the right to vote by mail. It's a safe way to vote and protect your health, and the process is secure and accurate. Due to the passage of the statewide ballot proposal 18-3, all eligible and registered voters in Michigan may now request an absent voter ballot without providing a reason. Voters may request an absent voter ballot or accessible voter ballot in a variety of ways. Voters can complete an online application at Michigan.gov/Vote or submit an application, large print application, letter, or postcard to your local clerk. Requests for absent voter ballots may be returned may be returned by hand, via postal mail, or email, as long as a signature is visible. Requests to have an absent voter ballot mailed to you must be received by your clerk no later than 5 p.m. the Friday before the election. If you’re already registered at your current address, you can request an absent voter ballot in person at your clerk’s office anytime up to 4 p.m. on the day prior to the election, this ballot must be completed at the clerk’s office. If you’re registering to vote or updating your address by appearing at your clerk’s office on Election Day, you can request an absent voter ballot at the same time you register. If you request your AV ballot the day before the election or on Election Day, you must vote the ballot in the clerk's office. Once your request is received by the local clerk, your signature on the request will be checked against your voter registration record before a ballot is issued. You must be a registered voter to receive an absent voter ballot, but you can register and apply for an absent voter ballot at the same time. Requests for absent voter ballots are processed immediately. Absent voter ballots may be issued to you at your home address or any address outside of your city or township of residence. After receiving your absent voter ballot, you have until 8 p.m. on Election Day to complete the ballot and return it to the clerk's office. Your ballot will not be counted unless your signature is on the return envelope and matches your signature on file. If you received assistance voting the ballot, then the signature of the person who helped you must also be on the return envelope. Only you, a family member or person residing in your household, a mail carrier, or election official is authorized to deliver your signed absent voter ballot to your clerk's office. If an emergency, such as a sudden illness or family death prevents you from reaching the polls on Election Day, you may request an emergency absent voter ballot. Requests for an emergency ballot must be submitted after the deadline for regular absent voter ballots has passed but before 4 p.m. on Election Day. The emergency must have occurred at a time which made it impossible for you to apply for a regular absent voter ballot. Please contact your local clerk for more information about emergency absent voter ballots. Spoiling an absent voter ballot If a voter has already voted absentee and wishes to change their vote (because the candidate has dropped out of the race, or for any other reason), a voter can spoil their ballot by submitting a written request to their city or township clerk. The voter must sign the request and state if they would like a new absentee ballot mailed to them or if they will pick it up in person at the clerk’s office. This request must be received by 5 p.m. the Friday before the election if received by mail. An absentee ballot that has been returned to the clerk may be spoiled in person at the clerk’s office until 10 a.m. the Monday prior to the election. An absentee ballot that has not been returned to the clerk may be spoiled in person at the clerk’s office until 4 p.m. the Monday prior to the election. If a voter has not returned his or her ballot, the voter can surrender the ballot or sign a statement stating that the ballot was lost or destroyed and vote at the polls. There is no option on Election Day to spoil an absentee ballot that has been received by the clerk.

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.
