Property owners with taxes that are three years delinquent will be foreclosed and the property will be sold at public auction. People who fail to pay thier 2006 delinquent property taxes will lose their property to foreclosure in March 2009.
Delinquent taxes that are more than two years old have a substantially higher interest rate (1.55 per month, as opposed to 1% the first year). After two years, taxes will also have a $175 forfeiture fee and additional administrative fees added to them.
If you can't pay your taxes all at once, you can still make partial payments. Make your check payable to the Menominee County Treasurer. To ensure your payment is applied to your parcel, please write your parcel number on your check or money order. The mailing address is:
