Problems Searching for Property/Parcel or Tax Record

This application can only be used to pay current taxes owed to a city, village or township in Oakland County, Michigan or delinquent taxes owed to the Oakland County Treasurer.

If you are having problems searching for a property/parcel or tax record, first check to make sure you have entered the property information correctly.

There are two blocks of data entry fields, for two different ways of searching for property (see below). In each search option, certain data fields are required for each search. These fields are indicated with an asterisk (*). All information is provided on your Tax Bill. If you no longer have your Tax Bill, use the second option to search by address.

  • When entering a Parcel ID number, do not enter dashes or spaces. When entering street names, do not use punctuation or suffixes such as Rd., St., Ave., etc.
  • If the property is located in Oakland County and the information you entered is correct, but the property is still not found, contact Customer Support at 248-858-1982.

Problems Entering Credit Card Billing Information

Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted. Check to make sure the correct credit card information was entered. Required data fields are indicated with an asterisk (*).

Problems Entering Tax Payment Amount

Before submitting a payment, you must check the box next to "I verify this is the correct parcel." When entering payment amounts, do not use the dollar sign -- use numbers only. If problems persist, contact Customer Support at 248-858-1982.
