Attention Whitewater Township Taxpayer
Whitewater Township Treasurer no longer automatically mails a receipt for your tax payment unless you specifically request one by marking the designated area on your return slip. We have instituted this policy in an effort to reduce the cost of administrative operations expenses.
Please keep in mind that the State of Michigan and the Federal government recognize your cancelled check and your mortgage statement as proof of payment. If you have any questions, or concerns regarding this policy, please contact us.
Please bring the exact amount of your tax bill being paid when paying with CASH. Thank you for your understanding.
Office hours: Monday, Wednesday & Friday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Other times by appointment.
Thank you,
Ardella M. Benak
Whitewater Township Treasurer
