Property Tax Collection Information
Make checks payable to Mason Township
Summer taxes are due September 14th. Winter taxes are due February 28th. Winter Personal Property Taxes are due February 14th. The top left corner of your tax bill has the address where payment is to be mailed or delivered and the hours we are available if you come in person. We accept checks, money orders, credit card payments paid through All paid (you will need your parcel number), or cash if little change is required.
The Treasurer collects the taxes at her home. There is a drop box on the front porch and payments left there will be sent a receipt either by email, or mail. We will come out to your vehicle if you wish. Honk to let us know you are there and give us some time; we may be on the phone or with another taxpayer.
No taxes are collected at the Township Hall. Hours are normally every other Saturday during tax season from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, and on the deadline date, our hours are 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. We are also available some evenings and weekends by appointment. We prefer you email arlene060treas@gmail.com or call 269-699-7388 and leave a clear message with an evening phone number. If you don’t hear from us in a couple of days we probably could not understand your message.
We do accept partial payments. Any balance owed is turned over to the County after February 28th.
Delinquent Property Taxes
The current year’s taxes are in the hands of the Township until February 28th. Cass County does not have a record of current-year tax payments until after that date. Summer Property Taxes become delinquent after September 14th and interest at 1% per month then gets added to the balance due. Summer taxes are collected by the Township Treasurer until February 28th. Winter taxes become delinquent after February 28th. Then all taxes, except Personal Property Taxes (basically machinery and equipment), are turned over to the Cass County Treasurer and interest at 1% and a one-time penalty of 4% is added to the balance due and collected by the County. Call (269) 445-4468 for the amount due.
