Many residents ask what their Meridian Township taxes are for. The line attributes indicate line type, including the state line, county lines, township and range lines, section lines, Indian treaty boundaries, base lines, principal meridians, and boundaries between areas mapped from different principal meridians. Other governmental units also receive tax money from Meridian Township, according to the district’s tax rate. In Meridian Township, these include Okemos, Haslett, East Lansing, Williamston, Ingham Intermediate Schools, and Lansing Community College.

The Treasurer is also required to pay out funds to local school districts. Included in this responsibility is the accurate accounting of all funds. The Township, Range, Section, Principal Meridian, County, State and Longitude/Latitude will be displayed above the map. These funds are primarily real estate and personal property taxes, but also include fines, licenses, permits, deposits, bonds, and fees.

The Treasurer’s Office is required by law to receive and take charge of all funds belonging to the Township and those which are required by law to be paid into the Township Treasury.
