Assessment

 

The Department of the Treasury of the State of Michigan requires each county’s Board of Equalization to insure properties within the county are appropriately assessed annually.  This insures the assessed market value is reflected by an accurate description of the property assessed.  That the appraisal is based on supportable market data. 

This can only be done when a complete physical inspection of properties is completed on a reasonably regular basis.  The State Tax Commission recommends each property be re-assessed every fifth year. Assyria Township has historically, as many townships, not performed regular property re-assessments. 

In an effort to be proactive with the State Tax Commission’s effort to equalize the property tax burden on Michigan property owners, Assyria Township is in the process of assessing all properties that have not been assessed within the last five years.  Henceforth, in addition to “time of sale” assessments, all properties within Assyria Township will be re-assessed about every fiveyears.
