Keep Your Home In Macomb
Treasurer Rocca has increased the number of payment plans preventing tax foreclosures in our neighborhoods each year from 2016 to 2019, with a record breaking number of 926 payment plans in 2022. In 2020 Treasurer Rocca saved all occupied homes and businesses, while in 2021 he saved all parcels, from the tax foreclosure process without the requirement of a payment plan due to COVID-19.
Treasurer Rocca has presided over an incredible expansion of the Investment Portfolio while managing the cash liquidity needs of the County. In October of 2020 the total value of the portfolio Treasurer Rocca manages reached a record-breaking amount, $899,656,230.67.
Treasurer Rocca has done everything possible to prevent tax foreclosures in our neighborhoods and as a result has outperformed each year our internal benchmark of 5% and the foreclosure rates of our peer counties, Oakland and Wayne.
Treasurer Rocca is focused on helping everyone eligible in Macomb County to take advantage of the Michigan Homeowner Assistance Fund (MIHAF). From March 2022 to February 2023, over 400 taxpayers were saved from the tax foreclosure process with this program after Treasurer Rocca provided staff to assist our taxpayers in applying for it.
