Treasurer offers tax help

The office of Wayne County Treasurer Eric R. Sabree will be open on Saturdays beginning Feb.18, for taxpayers to make payment arrangements for delinquent taxes. 

The office will be open from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturdays through March 25 for taxpayers to make payments or enter a payment plan. For information, go to https://www.waynecounty.com/elected/treasurer/contact-us.aspx.

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, he said. 

 "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." 

The Wayne County Treasurer's Office has several options to help residents stay in their homes, including financial hardship extensions and other payment plans.
