Greendale Township | Official Public Notice | June 2026

Tax Information & Paying Taxes on BS&A Online

How to Look Up Your Property or Make a Tax Payment

  1. Go to BS&A Online
  • In your internet search bar, type “BS&A Online”.
  • Look for the search result: http://bsaonline.com
  • Under that result, you may see a quick link called “Municipal Directory” or “Online Tax Payment Search
  1. Choose How You Want to Search

You can reach your property information in multiple ways. One way is to click the Municipal Directory or Online Payment Tax Search Link under BS&A Online web results—you should be seeing the website http://bsaonline.com:

Option A — Click “Municipal Directory”

  1. After clicking Municipal Directory, you’ll see a search box labeled “Where”.
  2. Type Greendale Township for Paying Taxes or Claiming your Property.
  3. Type Midland County to see your property tax information or other taxpayers’ properties for free.
  4. A search bar will appear when choosing either option (Greendale Township or Midland County)
    • You can change the search type using the tabs above the search bar area (Address, Name, or Parcel Number).
  5. Important:
    • If you search from Greendale Township, you must click “Claim this property” and create an account to view the details once you enter your information.
    • If you want to pay without creating an account (claiming the property), click the “Pay” button located below the search bar before searching your name, address or parcel ID.
    • If you just want property information, tax information, and delinquent tax information, make sure you are searching under the “where” section under Midland County. You can not view the information without paying on the Greendale Township search.
    • Note that when going under the “where” section, Midland County, you can see previous tax season amounts and payments.

Option B — Click “Pay” below the search bar on the Municipal Search Page (Greendale Township)

  1. Clicking “Pay” takes you directly to a similar search bar.
  2. You can search by Address, Name, or Parcel Number.
  3. No account is required to make a payment.

Option C —Click “Online Payment Tax Search” from the beginning of the search on the BS&A webpage results. Instead of choosing Municipal Search, click the Online Payment Tax Search if you want to go directly to payment of property taxes.

  • If this quick click link does not appear under the BS&A webpage results, just click the BS&A link (https://bsaonline.com), it will take you to the next page, which has a “pay” option.
  1. If you take you to the “where” page, enter Greendale Township.
  2. Enter your address, name, or parcel number.
  3. Review the search results and verify the property is yours.
  4. Once your property is displayed, select “Review and Pay.”
  5. Follow the prompts to complete your online payment.

Quick Recap for Taxpayers

  • Go to BS&A Online by searching for “BS&A Online” or going to the BS&A website.
  • Use Greendale Township if you want to pay taxes or claim your property.

  • You can search by address, name, or parcel number.
  • To pay without creating an account, select the “Pay” option and search for your property.

Filling Out the Payment Stub

2026-06-25T06:57:50-04:00June 25th, 2026|

Greendale Township | Official Public Notice | June 2026

Importance of Filling Out the Payment Stub

Filling Out the Top Portion of Your Tax Stub

The top section of the tax bill has a dotted line and can be torn off for your convenience. This top portion is called the tax stub. Please submit this tax stub with your payment. The property owner needs to complete this section each time a payment is submitted. It is important to fill out this section when you submit a payment so the township has your current contact details. This helps us contact you quickly if there is a question about your payment, parcel identification, or account status. When submitting a payment by check, please write the check number on the tax stub. This helps us match your payment to the correct parcel and reference it if there is a question about bank deposits.

There is no need to write the check amount unless you are paying less than the balance due. There is also no need to fill out the date section on the stub. The date on your check serves as the official payment date.

We are currently working on a permanent system to securely store this information. In the future, you will only need to update the stub if your contact details change. Until that system is in place, please continue to complete the top portion for each payment. Another notice will be posted when the township determines the best way to store resident information. We are also working with our software company to transfer prior tax-year resident contact information into the new tax season.

Your cooperation helps us process payments faster, reduce errors, and keep township records accurate.

Payment Processing Update

2026-06-25T16:05:08-04:00June 24th, 2026|

Greendale Township | Official Public Notice | June 2026

⚠️ TREASURER’S OFFICIAL NOTICE TO GREENDALE TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS ⚠️
Property Tax Payment Processing Update

New Handheld Scanner for Property Tax Payments

Greendale Township has implemented a new handheld barcode scanner to improve the accuracy and efficiency of processing property tax payments. This upgrade is an important step in ensuring that every resident’s payment is posted correctly, quickly, and with fewer opportunities for error.

To make this system work as intended, we need your help.

🔍 Please Bring Your Property Tax Stub with Every Payment

Your property tax bill includes a barcode located on the payment stub. This barcode is essential for several reasons:

  • Accurate Posting: Scanning the barcode eliminates the need to manually type a 14‑digit parcel number, greatly reducing the chance of errors.
  • Faster Service: Scanning is significantly quicker than manual entry, helping us keep lines short and processing times efficient.
  • Correct Property Identification: The barcode ensures your payment is applied to the correct parcel—especially important for residents who own multiple properties.
  • Reconciliation & Recordkeeping: The stub is used to verify information, resolve discrepancies, and attach receipts for cash payments.
  • Cash Payment Tracking: When paying with cash, your receipt will be attached directly to the stub for secure tracking and audit purposes.

⛔ Why We Must Have Your Stub

While we understand that things happen and bills get misplaced, the stub is a required part of the payment process. Without it:

  • Processing takes longer
  • The risk of posting errors increases
  • Additional supplies and printing costs are incurred
  • Staff must stop to reprint a bill, which slows down service for everyone

We are always willing to reprint a bill when absolutely necessary, but we kindly ask residents to help us reduce unnecessary delays and expenses by bringing the original stub when paying in person whenever possible, or by including it with your mail-in payment.

🙏 Thank You for Your Cooperation

These improvements are designed to serve you better and keep township operations running smoothly. Your attention to bringing the tax stub with your payment—whether paying by mail, drop box, in person, or with cash—helps us maintain accuracy, efficiency, and responsible stewardship of township resources.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the Treasurer’s Office.

Why We Discourage Cash Payments

2026-06-24T21:40:04-04:00June 24th, 2026|

Greendale Township | Official Public Notice | June 2026

Why Greendale Township Discourages Cash Payments

Greendale Township is committed to serving residents efficiently, securely, and transparently. To better protect both our residents and our staff, we strongly encourage using checks, money orders, or other non-cash payment methods for all township property tax transactions. Below, we explain the key reasons behind this change.

The Risks of Accepting Cash

1. Counterfeit Currency

  • Counterfeit bills pose a real and growing risk to local governments. When the township unknowingly accepts counterfeit bills, which are then mixed with other cash payments unrelated to any specific resident, the township must cover the losses using taxpayers’ money.
  • Effective immediately, the Greendale Township treasurer will run all cash through a counting machine, which also has counterfeit detection. It will be at the treasurer’s discretion to choose whether to accept or deny cash that is presented if the treasurer has doubts or concerns that it may be counterfeit.
  • This verification step, while necessary, adds processing time to every cash transaction. Residents paying by check or money order will experience faster service.
  • Due to this extra step, residents paying with cash may be asked to step aside while those paying with a check or money order are processed. To avoid delays, please consider paying by other methods rather than in cash.

2. Staff and Resident Security

  • Keeping large amounts of cash on township premises creates unnecessary security risks for our staff and our township.
  • The safety of our residents and township staff is of top concern, and having large amounts of cash on collection days puts unnecessary risk on our township residents and staff.
  • Reducing cash on hand is the best practice for small government offices and protects everyone involved.

3. Bank Deposit Logistics

  • Each cash deposit requires a staff member to physically travel to the bank — sometimes multiple times per week, depending on volume.
  • Our township has a check processing machine, which can be used remotely and saves the township money and time by reducing trips to the bank for direct deposits.

4. Processing Delays

  • Cash payments require counting, verification, and logging — all of which slow down the transaction process.
  • Errors in cash handling can require time-consuming reconciliation.
  • Non-cash payments are processed more quickly and with greater accuracy.
  • Due to this extra step, residents paying with cash may be asked to step aside while those paying with a check or money order are processed.

Accepted Payment Methods

We encourage residents to use the following payment methods:

  • Personal Check — Make payable to Greendale Township
  • Money Order — Available at most banks, post offices, and some retail stores
  • Cashier’s Check — Available at your bank or credit union
  • Online Payment — Visit https://bsaonline.com to pay securely online
  • Credit Card & ACH — Call to make a credit card payment or ACH payment at 989.656.9594. At this time we can not accept credit transactions in person.

Please include your name and parcel number on your check or money order. Always submit the property stub with the payment. There is a bar code on the stub that the treasurer now scans for all bills. Not having this stub could delay processing.

We Understand Cash Is Sometimes the Only Option

We recognize that not everyone has access to a bank account or other payment method. If you can only pay in cash, please know that we will always accept it. We simply ask that residents be aware of the additional steps required and allow extra processing time when paying with cash.

Our staff will treat every resident with respect and helpfulness, regardless of how you choose to pay.
