Board of Review

The Board of Review is required by Michigan State Law. The Board is necessary to examine the assessment roll for the year, and also to consider appeals from taxpayers related to Errors in Assessment, Qualified Agricultural exemptions, Taxable Value uncapping, Disabled Veterans exemption and Poverty exemptions.

The Board of Review meets three times a year. The first meeting occurs in March and is to consider assessed and taxable value appeals and classification appeals for the current tax year only.

The Board of Review also meets in July and December to consider "clerical errors" and "mutual mistakes of fact", Poverty Exemption appeals for the current year, Qualified Agricultural exemptions, and Disabled Veterans exemptions. These cases are usually brought to the Board of Review by the Assessor, on behalf of the taxpayer. Appeals of market value cannot be considered at the July or December Board of Review.
