Thank you for visiting our web site. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the many services provided through the Treasurer’s Office. I would like your experience with this office to be a pleasant one, and I will be happy to assist you in any way I can.
The Township Treasurer collects and distributes your property tax bill for the following entities:
- State of Michigan
- Oakland Community College
- Oakland Schools
- School Districts of Waterford, Clarkston and Pontiac
- County of Oakland
- Waterford Township General Fund, Police, Fire, Library, Police & Fire Bond and Special Assessments
- Lake Improvement Boards
- Oakland County Water Resources Commssioner (Drain Office)
Tax bills are mailed out twice a year. Due to declining revenues, the Township can no longer mail Informational Tax Bills. This change affects only the homeowners who have their taxes paid by a mortgage company. If you have a mortgage and your taxes are paid by your mortgage company, a copy of your tax bill can be obtained on Tax Search Information page.
Those who pay their taxes and are not paid by a mortgage company will still receive a tax bill.
Additional responsibilities include:
- Investment of Surplus Funds
- Reconciliation of all Township Bank Accounts
- Management of Payroll and Employee Benefits Department
- Administration of Employee Pension Systems
- Administration of Retiree Health Care Board
- Administration of Defined Contribution Retirement System

The Treasurer also serves on and is a member of the Township Board of Trustees.
