About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Michigan Property Tax Deferment for Seniors in its Sterling Heights, MI research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Allows Sterling Heights homeowners age 62+ with income below $40,000 to defer winter property tax payments. Tax becomes lien on property, payable when home is sold. Interest accrues at rate set by state.
