A property tax owner may request additional time to pay delinquent property taxes at the foreclosure hearing. If a hardship deferral is granted by the Treasurer or by the Judge, it does not abolish an obligation to pay property taxes. It may extend the time to pay. Interest and other fees established by the Property Tax Law (Public Act 206 of 1893 as amended) will still be added to the amount you owe until that amount is paid in full. Poverty Guidelines as established by the State of Michigan, Standard Allowance for Standard Credit Computation, Table A, of form MI-1040CR-7 (see below) are considered with the application.
