Tax Foreclosure Prevention

WHAT IS THE HOMEOWNERS PROPERTY TAX ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (HPTAP)?

The City of Detroit has a poverty property tax exemption that is underutilized.  Approximately 40,000 Detroiters are eligible each year but around 5,500 applied for the exemption in 2017.

By lowering or eliminating tax bills, the HPTAP can improve housing affordability and prevent tax foreclosure among owners with low and fixed incomes.

UCHC works with our clients to complete and file HPTAP applications in order to lower their property taxes and reduce the risk of foreclosure. For more information about our HPTAP counseling hours, visit our Contact Us page.

You can apply online or print an app at www.detroitmi.gov/HPTAP

UCHC also has resources available for renters residing in homes with foreclosure issues. This information and more can be found on their website at the link below.
