Board of Review:
Members: Frank Kastelic,
Cindy Kastelic, and Frederick Jarvi
Tentative 2012
Meeting Schedule:
The Board of Review
reviews the assessment roll received from the Assessor
to check to see it is complete, accurate, uniform and
valid. The Board conducts public hearings annually in
March to hear appeals from property owners. The type of
appeals the Board has authority to hear are for
classification, tax exempt or non-exempt status, equity
(all properties to be assessed at 50 percent of True
Cash Value), hardship and valuation. The majority of
appeals are for valuation. The Board of Review has no
control over millage rates or property taxes.
Protest at the Board of
Review is necessary to protect your right to further
appeals to the Michigan Tax Tribunal for valuation and
exemption appeals and/or State Tax Commission for
classification appeals. The deadline to appeal for
Residential is July 31. Only assessments reviewed by the
Board of Review can be appealed to the Michigan Tax
Tribunal and State Tax Commission.
Appeal Documentation
Residents
who appeal their value should provide documentation to
support why their assessment is too high. Provide
documentation of comparable houses in your neighborhood
that sold at lower prices than your appraised value, or
provide a recent appraisal reflecting the fair market
value of your home. . A "Petition to the Board of
Review" will be completed by the Board of Review listing
the decision made and given to the Assessor for
adjustment.
