Please note that West Bloomfield Township will be CLOSED on February 12, 2010 for an unpaid furlough day. The Township will also be CLOSED on February 15, 2010 in observance of President’s day. Our offices will reopen on Tuesday, February 16, 2010.

Winter 2009 Taxes are DUE on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 without penalty.

For your convenience there is a drop box located on the east side of town hall on the drive-thru island. The box is clearly marked for payments. Check payments can be deposited in this drop box during non-business hours, and will be received by the Treasurer when the offices reopen.

A 4% penalty will be applied to payments made from February 17, 2010 – March 1, 2010. All payments after these dates are sent delinquent to Oakland County.

Thank you for visiting our web site. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the many services provided through the Treasurer’s Office. I would like your experience with this office to be a pleasant one, and I will be happy to assist you in any way I can.
