Property Assessments are calculated each year by the Assessor at 50% of the estimated value of each parcel of property. Assessment Notices are sent to the owner of record in February of each year. Please make sure we have your correct mailing address by the beginning of January.

Property Assessment Petitions: You can petition to challenge your property assessment(s) at the March Board of Review (BOR) held at the Township Hall. BOR members are Township property owners who, in turn, process your challenge of your property tax figured by the assessor with oversight by the Township Supervisor. The time and dates are listed on your Assessment Notice. The dates for BOR are also posted in the Petoskey Newspaper and on the Township bulletin boards. Send your petition to the Township Office in care of the Board of Review. You do not need to be present at the BOR meetings to file a petition. Petitions can be sent by letter or filling out Michigan Department of Treasury Petition to Board of Review L-4035. The petition is available (see above) and at State of Michigan document website (MI Petition Board of Review). The petition can be sent via mail, fax, or in person. When appealing your property assessment, consider including supporting information, such as, any comparable values of other properties.

Disabled Veteran Exemption: Disabled veteran eligibility requirements include (a) an honorable discharged from the United States Armed Forces, (b) Michigan residency, and (c) one of the following criteria:

• Has been determined by the United States Department of Veteran’s Affairs to be permanently and totally disabled as a result of military service and entitled to veterans’ benefits at the 100% rate.

• Has a certificate from the United States Department of Veterans’ Administration, or its successors, certifying that he or she is receiving or has received pecuniary assistance due to disability for specially adapted housing.

• Has been rated by the United States Department of Veterans’ Affairs as individually unemployable.

Individuals filing the affidavit for the exemption under Criteria A must provide a copy of the letter from the Veterans’ Administration indicating they have a 100% service connected disability and are entitled to receive benefits.

The Michigan State Tax Commission has determined that receipt of either grant would qualify an individual for the exemption under Criteria B. Individuals must file an affidavit for the exemption under Criteria B which must include a copy of the certificate from the Veterans’ Administration indicating they are receiving or have received pecuniary assistance due to disability for specially adapted housing.

The un-remarried surviving spouse of the disable veteran is eligible for the exemption based upon the eligibility of their spouse; therefore the spouse must also be a Michigan resident. The exemption will continue only as long at the surviving spouse remains un-remarried.
