My house is not worth the value it is assessed at. What are my rights of appeal?
First, if your opinion of the value of your property differs from the Assessor’s, go to the assessor’s office and discuss the matter. They are there to listen and help you. Second, after receiving your February Assessment notice, go to the March Board of Review the 2nd Monday in March at the City/ Township Civic Community Center to exercise your right of appeal. Be sure to support your opinion of value with a list of recent sales in the local area, provide pictures showing the condition and depreciation of your home, or bring a recent appraisal of comparable homes with similar size, story height, lot size, square footage, amenities, and the same school district. If denied by the March Board of Review, petition to the Michigan Tax Tribunal in writing by June 30th. The mailing address is: Michigan Tax Tribunal, P.O. Box 30232, Lansing, MI 48909.
