Treasurer's Office
The Treasurer's office is solely responsible for the receipt, deposit, control and disbursement of all receipts (taxes and all other revenues) of the Township on a daily basis. The Treasurer collects taxes for all taxing units within the Township, such as the Chippewa Valley, L'Anse Creuse, Utica, and New Haven Schools.
An important function of the Treasurer's Office involves the investment of available Township funds. Responsible and conservative investment policies ensure maximum return with minimal risk. The office also bills, collects, and maintains all Township Special Assessments for water, sewer and pavement.

*Total mills include all taxes levied by the city or township (not by schools, counties or regional authorities)
**Library adjustment adds all local library millages regardless of whether the library is run by the municipality or an independent authority
***Some municipalities include trash collection in taxes and others do not, so Garbage Adjust removes taxes levied specifically for trash collection.
