March Board of Review

In order to ease the burden on taxpayers and the Board of Review, and to ensure that all taxpayers have an equal opportunity to be heard by the Board of Review, according to provisions of MCL 211.30(8) of the General Property Tax Act, that the Board of Review shall receive letters of protest regarding assessments from resident and nonresident taxpayers from the first Tuesday in March until it adjourns from the public hearings for which it meets to hear such protests. We are now providing taxpayers the option to electronically submit their March Board of Review appeals by various means (e-mail, postal mailing, and this website) to provide flexibility in exercising the right to appeal a Notice of Assessment (L-4400), Taxable Value, and Property Classification. Many common issues can be corrected without a need to appeal, please feel free to contact us to review your information.

Assessing in Michigan

Administration of Property Tax Law is adopted and amended by the State of Michigan Legislature. The administration of the law is performed at the local level by Certified Assessors. The State Tax Commission and Michigan Department of Treasury has general supervision of the administration of the tax laws governing assessments and the levying of taxes in the State.

Assessed Value and State Equalization Value are 50% of the True Cash Value (100%) of a parcel in the State of Michigan.
