Scammers are contacting taxpayers while pretending to be from the Michigan Department of Treasury, using out‑of‑state phone numbers. They may request payments or attempt to trick you into providing your bank account information. Always verify the source before sharing any personal or financial details.

You should take the check, remittance advice, and a copy of your farmland development rights agreement(s) to your county treasurer(s). He or she will ask you to endorse the check, then use the refund to pay any delinquent property taxes. Any amount remaining will be refunded to you by the county treasurer.
Note: Once a jointly payable check has been issued, a new check payable only to you will not be issued if you later prove the taxes have been paid.
