BOARD OF REVIEW
At the March organizational meeting,
the board receives the assessment roll for the current year and proceeds to examine
the roll. The Board of Review is not required to receive and hear taxpayers at this
meeting. However, it may receive and consider written protests for assessment change.
At the March Board of Review meetings,
the board receives written protests or appeals and allows for personal appearances
by taxpayers or their agents who are protesting a property tax issue that is within
the jurisdiction of the Board of Review and shall act on each protest as provided
for in Michigan Law.
The March Board of Review has authority
to change the current years assessments. The board DOES NOT have the authority to
change assessments for any prior year. The March Board also cannot make any decisions
on principal residence exemptions or applications for new qualified agricultural
exemptions.
The July and December Boards of Review
may convene if there is business to conduct for the purpose of correcting qualified
errors for the current year and the immediately preceding year only.
