A big box “dark store” in southeast Michigan.<\/p><\/div>\n

State Representative Dave Maturen (R-Vicksburg) introduced House Bill 5578 this week (http:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/doc.aspx?2016-HB-5578<\/a>) with the support of the Michigan Municipal League and other local government groups, to address the ongoing crisis of “dark store” property tax appeals.<\/p>\n

The legislation proposed by Rep. Maturen, was developed following a workgroup process which he chaired and involved participation by the League\u00a0and numerous local assessors, appraisers and other property valuation experts. The proposal would require Michigan Tax Tribunal members to equitably apply universally accepted appraisal standards when deciding larger property tax appeal cases. These standards will provide consistency in determining highest and best use as part of the property valuation process. The legislation would also restrict\u00a0the consideration of comparable sales that have deed restrictions if the deed restrictions are imposed by the seller to keep competitors of the seller from the\u00a0 market and\u00a0 the deed restrictions provide no benefit to the property but only to the seller\u2019s business.<\/p>\n

A hearing on the bill is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Wednesday (April 27) before the House Tax Policy committee. League members are encouraged to contact the legislators on the Tax Policy committee at this link\u00a0<\/a>and your own Representative and Senator to explain the importance of this issue and to urge their support for HB 5578. Use the League’s Action Center<\/a> to contact your lawmakers.<\/p>\n

Chris Hackbarth is director of state affairs for the League. He can be reached at\u00a0chackbarth@mml.org<\/a>\u00a0and 517-908-0304.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
