We collect property taxes in the summer and winter.
Using your tax dollars effectively is important to
us – we
continuously strive to meet your needs.
Personal Property Taxes for businesses are sometimes confusing, so I've enclosed a helpful guide for your reference.
If you wish to file a Homestead Exemption Affidavit form, visit the Assessing section. If you meet the
qualifications, your summer taxes will be reduced by
18 mills, the amount of the school operating tax.

Tax payments must
be in our office by their respective due dates. Postmarks
are not accepted. A 4% fee will be added to tax payments
received on or after their respective penalty dates.
Following the penalty dates, we will continue to
collect delinquent tax payments until February 28th
(this will be the following year for summer tax bills).
At that time, all unpaid real taxes are turned over
to the Newaygo County Treasurer and additional charges
are added.

Payments
For your convenience, we accept tax payments
in person, by mail or in the drop box at the northwest
exit
of the parking lot behind City Hall (link to
directory). Tax payments are accepted at City Hall
until February
28th; thereafter, all payments must be made at
the County Treasurer’s Office in White Cloud.
If you require a copy of a paid receipt, please
include a stamped, self-addressed envelope with
your tax payment.
Please note that any check returned to the City
of Fremont will be charged an additional $25.00.
The check writer will be required to bring in cash
equaling the amount of the check returned plus an
additional $25.00 fee. If not paid within a few days,
the associated fee/bill will be reinstated with penalties.
The $25.00 charge will also be added to the account.
