The clock is ticking on 2015 property tax payments in Berrien County, with a deadline of the close of business today to either pay those in full or get into a payment plan to avoid being foreclosed. The Orchards Mall in Benton Township owes $275,000 in taxes for that year, and if that money isn’t paid in full by the end of the day, County Treasurer Bret Witkowski says he’ll foreclose. Witkowski says that property is not being offered the chance to get into a payment plan, but everyone else is. The mall paid its 2014 property taxes last year at the deadline to stave off being foreclosed.
The properties the county forecloses upon will be offered up at the summer land auction by the Berrien County Treasurer’s Office.
