The due date for Grayling City Income Taxes has been extended from April 30, 2021 to now June 1, 2021. The due date has been extended after both Federal and State due dates were previously extended. Tax payments can also be deferred to June 1 without penalties and interest. This deferment applies to all taxpayers – including individuals, trusts & estates, corporations and other non-corporate tax filers as well as those who pay self-employment tax. This deferment does not apply to any withholding taxes. Withholding payment due dates have not changed.
Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call to qualify for this automatic tax filing and payment relief. Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the new June 1 deadline, can request a filing extension by completing and submitting the extension form available here. Extensions granted will still have a due date of November 1. Additional income tax forms are available on the 'forms' page.
No penalty or interest will be assessed on tax due unless it was for failure to make estimated payments. At this time, estimated payment due dates have not been changed or moved but the City will update this as it gets information from the Internal Revenue Service.
Tax filers who have questions regarding this extension or their returns can email graylingtax@issi-central.com or call (989) 348-7750.

REGARDING RECYCLING IN CRAWFORD COUNTY
Due to the rising costs associated with recycling and the drop in the value of recyclable material, the Crawford County Recycling Council has determined it to be potentially more economical for each township/city to determine the course of their own recycling efforts. Each municipality will decide whether or not to continue recycling and whether or not to continue the county recycling surcharge in order to fund the recycling program.
Grayling Township Recycling Center will accept recyclable material from residents of Grayling Township ONLY. Residents will be required to show their green and white compactor pass to enter and use the compacting/recycling services at the center. The recycling center hours will remain the same. This policy change impacts recycling ONLY. Trash removal will remain the same in all municipalities (township/city). Contact your municipality with any questions.
The City is currently researching options to offer recycling for city residents. Residents will be notified as soon as the information is available.
As of March 28, 2017 Credit/Debit Card Payments made at City Hall via GovPay must show valid id that matches the name on the Credit/Debit Card being used for the payment.
