What happens after the property is forwarded to the County Treasurer for collection?
The County Treasurer adds a 4% administration fee and interest of 1% per month. After 1 year, the property is forfeited to the Grand Traverse County Treasurer. For example, the 2013 taxes that were still unpaid as of March 1, 2014 was forwarded to the County treasurer for collection. 2013 taxes that remained unpaid as of March 1, 2015 were forfeited.
