Pay Less: City Of Flint Launches Special Program To Reduce Blight Fines And Structure Fire Fees
FLINT, Mich. — The City of Flint is proud to announce a limited-time amnesty program designed to help residents resolve outstanding balances related to blight violations and structure fire cleanup costs. This initiative reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to neighborhood revitalization, public safety, and equitable support for residents.
From September 8 through September 21, 2025, eligible residents will have the opportunity to significantly reduce what they owe:
- September 8–14: Pay just 50% of your total balance
- September 15–21: Pay 75% of your total balance (a 25% discount)
“This program is about giving residents a fresh start,” said Mayor Sheldon Neeley. “Whether it’s a blight violation or the aftermath of a structure fire, we want to make it easier for families to move forward and continue investing in their homes and neighborhoods.”
The amnesty applies to balances associated with:
- Blight fines and abatement costs
- Structure fire fees
Residents can make payments in person at City Hall – South Building or the Clio Road Community Service Center (Wednesdays only). Online payments are also accepted at cityofflint.com, with a small service fee for debit/credit card transactions.
