Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider appealing my property tax assessment?
Consider appealing if your assessment seems high compared to recent sales of similar properties or if there are errors in your property's recorded characteristics. Market downturns and property damage are also valid reasons for appeals.
What's the difference between assessed value and market value?
In Michigan, assessed value should equal 50% of true cash value (market value). If your assessment exceeds this standard, you may have grounds for a successful appeal.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if you believe your assessment is excessive. However, you'll need new evidence or changed circumstances to support repeated appeals.
What evidence strengthens a property tax appeal?
Strong evidence includes recent comparable sales, professional appraisals, documentation of property defects, and proof of declining neighborhood values. Photos and inspection reports can also support your case.
How does the Michigan Tax Tribunal process work?
The tribunal is a formal legal proceeding where both sides present evidence about property value. Having legal representation significantly improves your chances of success in this setting.
Will my property taxes go down immediately if I win my appeal?
Yes, successful appeals typically result in immediate tax adjustments and refunds for overpayments. The reduction usually applies to the current tax year and may influence future assessments.
What if my property value has increased since I bought it?
Increased property values don't prevent appeals if your assessment still exceeds the legal standard of 50% of true market value. Each case depends on current market evidence.
Do I need to be present at my property tax appeal hearing?
While not always required, your presence can be helpful for answering questions about property condition and history. However, Bosler Law Office can represent you effectively without your attendance in most cases.
