The Sanilac County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a phone scam targeting local taxpayers. Scammers are calling and claiming that individuals owe unpaid property taxes, demanding immediate payment by gift cards or wire transfers. These calls are not from the Sanilac County Treasurer’s Office. If you receive one, hang up and call the Treasurer’s Office directly to verify your tax status. Be cautious and protect your personal information—spread the word to help prevent fraud, especially to older residents.
