The Assessing Department is responsible for more than just the assessment
of all of the real and personal property within the boundaries, although
that is its primary function.
The State of Michigan Constitution mandates that all property must
be assessed at 50% of its Market Value. The first function of this
process involves an accurate inventory of all property. This demands
that the Assessing Department must be able to legally describe all
real property, whether it be a "metes and bounds" (engineered
survey) or a platted lot (subdivision) description.
The P.R.E. (Principal Residence Exemption) (formerly known as Homestead Exemption) and the Property Transfer Affidavit Programs
mandated by the changes brought about by Proposal "A" in
1994 are administered by the Assessing Department.
