Gov. Rick Snyder and State Treasurer Nick Khouri Applaud Legislative Action to Improve the Way Michigan Administers Property Taxes\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/h1>\n

More than $14 Billion in Property Taxes Collected Annually<\/em><\/h2>\n

LANSING, Mich. \u2013 Gov. Rick Snyder and State Treasurer Nick Khouri today commended state Rep. James Lower and state Sen. Jim Stamas for introducing legislation that would dramatically improve the way Michigan assesses and collects the state\u2019s $14 billion in property taxes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank Representative Lower and Senator Stamas for their leadership in introducing this legislation and look forward to working with my legislative and local government partners throughout the summer as we develop a solution to this emerging issue,\u201d Gov. Snyder said.<\/p>\n

The two property tax reform bills\u2014House Bill 6049<\/a> and Senate Bill 1025<\/a>\u2014would update property assessing laws to specify minimum quality standards that every city, township or county assessing office must meet. The change is intended to improve taxpayer and local government fairness by providing transparent and consistent assessments.<\/p>\n

In addition, the goal is to provide dollars for training and start-up to bolster the state\u2019s shrinking assessor and board of review talent pools.<\/p>\n

In Michigan, more than 1,500 local units of government are responsible for uniformly assessing property statewide and more than 1,500 local boards of review are responsible for quality control. Currently, there are approximately 150 master-level assessors equipped to handle complex assessments for the state\u2019s local entities, with about half of these type of assessors nearing retirement in the coming years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI applaud the Michigan Legislature for taking up this highly complex but important topic,\u201d Khouri said. \u201cWe must develop a framework that creates accurate property tax assessments statewide. Restoring taxpayer faith in the property tax system continues Michigan\u2019s comeback in an increasingly competitive marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n
