Can taxes be deferred? What is deferral?
A deferral is a DELAYING in payment of taxes or an extension with no interest or penalty if paid by the required date. It is NOT a waiver of taxes due. Summer taxes may be deferred by certain individuals if they meet the criteria established by the State of Michigan. Generally speaking, this deferment is for senior citizens, farmers without other income and veterans (and/or spouses).
