Who is Eligible for the Detroit Tax relief fund? If you are a Detroit homeowner struggling with your property taxes, you may be eligible.

The Homeowners Property Exemption (HOPE) program is a City of Detroit program that helps low-income homeowners eliminate or lower their CURRENT year property taxes. The Pay As You Stay (PAYS) program is administered by the Wayne County Treasurer’s office and reduces back taxes owed by homeowners who have been granted a HOPE. You must be granted a HOPE in order to be eligible for PAYS.

How do I apply for HOPE and PAYS? PAYS is available only to homeowners who have been granted an HOPE. To get help applying for the HOPE program call 313-244-0274 to be connected to organizations that can help you apply.

Do I need to apply for HOPE every year? Yes. You need to submit a HOPE application annually to remain exempt.

See below for service areas and more information on how to apply! Wayne Metro helped me to pay down my $3,000 water, and instead of my monthly bill being $140 and higher, it is now only $46 per month or lower, which is very affordable. It was a true blessing that I learned about the WRAP Program in 2015 when it first rolled-out.
