When paying your taxes; please make your check payable to “West Traverse Township”.  All checks must be for the amount of taxes owing-we DO NOT accept over payments or checks that are not signed. If your check is not for the correct amount, or is not signed-it will be returned to you and interest added if late.  

If paying in cash, please make sure it is for the EXACT amount owing-we do not have change available and are not able to apply overpayments.  You will be directed to the bank to obtain the correct change.
