“Our priority is the well‑being of Michigan’s communities impacted by this severe weather,” State Treasurer Eubanks said. “These extensions provide relief so individuals and businesses can concentrate on recovering. We are committed to supporting our taxpayers as they navigate through the challenges created by this emergency.”
To date, the following counties are under a state of emergency declaration due to severe weather: Alcona, Allegan, Alpena, Antrim, Arenac, Barry, Benzie, Charlevoix, Cheyboygan, Clare, Crawford, Eaton, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Gratiot, Iosco, Iron, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Kalkaska, Lake, Leelanau, Marquette, Manistee, Mecosta, Menominee, Missaukee, Montcalm, Montmorency, Muskegon, Newaygo, Oceana, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Osceola, Presque Isle, Roscommon, Saginaw, Shiawassee, Tuscola and Wexford. In addition, the cities of Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo and the village of Holly are included in the state of emergency.
In total, taxpayers from 41 counties, two cities and a village can apply for tax extension relief.
