2009 Records Update Process
Staff from the assessing department will be out taking current photographs and measuring building improvements of every property located within Hartland Township to update our records.  The staff will have picture identification and will have a township vehicle.  If the owners are not home we will leave a yellow card for the homeowner to fill out and return to the township.  This card has information regarding the interior of the structure.  We do not ask to inspect the interior, but we appreciate that the card is returned to help keep our information accurate.  Taxpayers are always encouraged to review their property information for accuracy in the assessment & taxes section of this website.  Please contact the assessing department if you have any questions or concerns.
