Ferndale Extends Summer Property Tax Deadline After Mailing Delays
(Crystal A. Proxmire, July 30, 2025)
Ferndale, MI – Ferndale City Council has voted to extend the summer property tax deadline from July 31, 2025, to August 13, 2025, after delays in mailing property tax bills.
The City has been giving updates on it’s website and on social media. On July 18 they shared “We sincerely can’t apologize enough for this inconvenience. Significant turnover in the Finance Department has contributed to the slower-than-ideal customer service. City leadership has recruited help from staff of other departments to assist. The onboarding process is also underway to welcome new team members that meet Ferndale’s customer service expectations—not only what you expect from us, but what we expect from ourselves as City staff.”
And on July 29 they announced the extended deadline and added “Thank you for your patience as limited staff members have navigated several hundred phone calls, emails, and social media comments.”
They also noted that lenders did receive property tax information on schedule in early July. Lenders pay all accounts at the same time, not on an individual basis.
According to the City, balances can always be viewed and paid at bsaonline.com/?uid=512. You can also call 947-282-5306, email information@ferndalemi.gov, or at City Hall by dropbox or at the front counter.
A payment installment option is also available. Please stop into City Hall or contact City staff to find out how to sign up and start receiving installment coupons.
