ERIC R. SABREE Wayne County Treasurer Offers Homeowners A Final Opportunity Save Their Homes From Property Tax Foreclosure PLEASE ACT BEFORE JUNE 30, 2016
Owner occupants can enter in one of two unique tax payment plans that lowers the interest rate on past due property taxes and may eliminate some delinquent taxes. June 30. 2016 is the deadline for both programs:
1. Interest Reduction Stipulated Payment Agreement: An owner occupant can combine the total outstanding taxes into a monthly payment agreement at a reduced interest rate of 6%, for up to 60 months. Owners who have an interest reduction payment plan for the 2013 taxes should contact our Office to revise the plan to include the 2014 and 2015 delinquent taxes for a lower interest rate payment plan.
2. Tax Reduction and Foreclosure Avoidance Agreement: Eligible owner occupants may be able to reduce and even eliminate delinquent property taxes if the total taxes owed are more than % the value of the property. If the amount of past due taxes is greater than 50% of the 2015 state equalized value (SEV) of the property, the owner can enter into a reduced interest rate payment plan for an amount that equals only that 50% value for up to 60 months; the remaining tax amount is eliminated (faxes reduced to Y2 of SEV).
Both payment plans require: Principal Residence Exemption (PRE). Make 1 0% down payment. Make monthly payments . Pay current taxes as scheduled Interest reduced from 18% to 6%
