Mt. Clemens, Michigan 48043"Are You Paying Too Much in Property Taxes?"
It's that time of year again! You will be receiving your Assessment Change Notice from the assessor. With the awful housing market in Michigan, this could be the first year that taxable value will lower since the inception of proposal A. It is up to the taxpayer to make sure that their taxable value is in line with the current market value of their home.
While residents of Michigan are plagued with decreasing home values, there may be some relief in the form of lower property tax. Mistakes are often a reason why a taxing authority values your home for more than current market value would allow. To have a good basis for appeal you need to provide evidence, which indicates the Assessed Value is in excess of 50% of True Cash Value.
What Should You Do?
First, contact your assessor and ask when the Board of Review meets. Obtain a copy of your appraisal card. Carefully check the card for errors. The assessor may agree to change some of the information or figures at that time, or you may have to make your case before the local Board of Review.
A professional appraisal is the best evidence against an improper assessment and the best proof of value. Let an expert help you prepare your case. Over 17 years experience serving SE Michigan!
