ASSESSOR RESPONSIBILITIES

The function of the Assessor's Department is to assess all taxable real and personal property in the Township annually, primarily through completion of an annual assessment roll, for the purpose of levying the taxes lawfully imposed thereon. The department is responsible for evaluating all new construction, additions and losses to taxable property, as well as continually studying and analyzing the local real estate market to determine property value as of tax day, December 31. It must also prepare all special-assessment rolls, as required, pursuant to Township Board resolution. The Assessor's Department is responsible for maintaining the Land File System, consisting of name, address and legal description of all real-property parcels, and the name and address of all personal-property parcels in the Township. The department provides property data to local realtors, fee appraisers, taxpayers and the general public daily. It also maintains the mapping system by processing all requested and approved splits and combinations of real-property parcels. As required by law, the Assessor's Department provides the means of assessment appeal through the March Board of Review and correction of mutual mistakes of fact or clerical error by convening the July and December Boards of Review. This department is also responsible for the preparation and defense of all assessment petitions to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. The Assessor's Department must prepare the reports, forms and warrants mandated by the county and state for equalization of assessments and the spreading of property taxes.

2011 Personal Property Statements and instructions were mailed the last week of December. Personal Property Tax is self reported and is a property tax paid by businesses on machinery, equipment, furnishings and other similar items used in a business. Tangible personal property is not real estate. This form must be filed in the city or township where the personal property is located on December 31, 2010. Michigan Department of Treasury form L-4175 is issued under authority of the General Property Tax Act (P.A. 206 of 1893) and filing is mandatory. This statement is subject to audit by the State Tax Commission, the Equalization Department or the Assessor and must be signed at the bottom of page 1. You are advised to make a copy of the completed statement for your records. Please file by February 1, 2011. According to form L-4175 instructions: If all of the personal property formally in your possession has been removed before December 31, 2010, you must notify the assessor at once in order to change the records accordingly. Michigan law provides that a person or entity receiving Form L-4175 must complete it and return it to the assessor by the statutory date, even if they have no assessable property to report. If you had assessable personal property in your possession on December 31, 2010, you must submit a completed Form L-4175 to the assessor of the community where the property is located on or before the statutory due date (February 20), even if the assessor does not send you a form to complete.
