Treasurer’s Office

The Treasurer’s Office is responsible for the collection, safekeeping, and allocation of all city revenues, including property taxes, special assessments, fees, licenses, and water revenues. The Treasurer’s Office acts as the tax collection agent for all taxing units located within the City, including the millages of six school districts and the County.

The Treasurer, in the capacity as the city’s money manager, strives to keep Warren at the forefront of its investment policy. The interest revenue earned from the investment of the city’s funds is a significant factor in maintaining a high level of city services.

City and County would like to inform you: Any tax not paid by March 1, 2021, to the City Treasurer’s Office, is now considered delinquent and must be paid to the Macomb County Treasurer’s Office with an additional 4% collection fee and 1% interest for each month until paid. For help determining your balance due and for any questions or concerns contact 586-574-4542.
