To comply with MCL 211.24c, tax payers will receive their assessment change notice(s) prior to the March Board of Review. Instructions on that notice will inform tax payers to contact the Somerset Township Assessing Department to set an appointment with the March Board of Review. At that time, the assessing staff will have the ability to review the assessment, informally hear or resolve disputes with the tax payer prior to the March Board of Review.

Property Reviews...

The Assessing Department will be updating property record cards throughout the township during the spring, summer and fall season as part of the standard Assessing Administration process recommended by the State of Michigan. These visits will not necessarily increase your tax bill unless new structures/additions are discovered; usually caused by not obtaining proper permits. Some structures/additions may not require permits, but may still add value to your property, therefore requiring this update process for the township to remain in compliance with State Tax Commission guidelines.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Max Griffin, Somerset Township Assessor at the number listed above.
