Three Board of Review meetings are held annually: March, July and December.

March Board of Review - Valuation Appeals by Taxpayers

Property owners reserve the right to appeal their assessed value, classification or qualified agricultural exemption before the March Board of Review.  The March Board of Review has the authority to review the following types of appeals for the current year:

  • Assessed value
  • Poverty exemptions under MCL 211.7u
  • Assessor denial of the continuation of a qualified agricultural property exemption
  • Assessment classification
A resident taxpayer may appear in person or may appoint an authorized representative — including attorneys, accountants or agents — with written authorization to appear on their behalf.  Both resident and non-resident taxpayers may file a protest in writing.  All written protests must be received at the Township prior to the second meeting, as noted on the assessment notice.

July and December Board of Review - Correction of Clerical Errors

These meetings are held to correct assessment roll clerical errors or mutual mistake of fact.  Taxpayer valuation appeals are not heard in July or December.  Poverty exemption appeals, however, are heard in July and December.
