2008 Summer Taxes Due July 1, 2007. 
Taxes remain payable without penalty through August 31, 2008.
Payments after August 31, 2008 become delinquent and
must be assessed an additional 4% penalty.

Please Note: POSTMARKS ARE NOT ACCEPTED!  Payment must be physically received by the City before the delinquency date to avoid penalty.  Payments made prior to the delinquency date but not received until after the delinquency date by the city are subject to all penalties.

Four ways to pay:

• By mail to our lockbox printed on the return envelope received with your tax bill;

• Through the drop box located behind the Civic Center;

• In person from 8:00am until 5:00pm Monday through Friday (excluding holidays)

• By credit card through Official Payments.

If paying by mail: Return the top portion of your bill along with your check made payable to the "City of Novi."  Please include your parcel ID number on your check.  Allow sufficient time for mailing; payments received on or after the delinquency date will be assessed a 4% penalty.

If making payment in the drop box: Include the top portion of your bill along with your check payable to the "City of Novi." Please include your parcel ID number on your check.  Payments must be in the drop box before the delinquency date; payments received on or after the delinquency date will be assessed a 4% penalty.

If paying in person: Please bring BOTH HALVES of your tax bill along with your check made payable to the "City of Novi."

If paying by credit card: By phone, call 1-800-2Pay-Tax (1-800-272-9829) or visit www.officialpayments.com). The City of Novi Jurisdiction Code Number is 3246.  Please remember, you are responsible for all fees imposed by Official Payments for this service.  Credit card transactions cannot be processed at the Treasurer's Office.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not waive penalty.  If you have recently purchased your property, have moved away, have changed your name, sold a portion of your property or entered into a land contract, you must notify the Assessing Department at 248-347-0485.

Some escrow agents may not receive a tax bill, often in a year when your escrow information changes (new account, refinance, or changing agent). Please contact your agent to make sure your taxes have been paid.  We are not responsible for unpaid taxes due to nonpayment by your agent.

Legal responsibility for paying on the correct parcel of property rests with the taxpayer.  Payments made to the wrong parcel before delinquency date does not negate penalties on the unpaid property once the error has been found.  PLEASE CHECK THE PARCEL ID NUMBER BEFORE PAYING.

SUMMER TAX BILL DEFERMENT: A deferral of the summer taxes is available to eligible senior citizens, totally and permanently disabled persons, eligible widows and eligible veterans, if total household income is $40,000 or less and who file the necessary application for deferral with the Treasurer by August 31st.  This form is available in the Treasurer's office (or by clicking here) and MUST BE FILED EACH YEAR.
