2023 Property Tax

Poverty Exemption

Residents meeting income limit and asset level tests set by the Township Board may be eligible for an exemption from 2023 property taxes. The Township has adopted guidelines that establish filing requirements, provide instructions on the filing process, established the review process for the exemption, and set income and asset levels that apply. The specific annual income limits vary by size of household and are based on the published limits set each year by the State of Michigan.

Annual Income Limits

The State Tax Commission requires that local governing bodies adopt guidelines that set income levels for their poverty exemption guidelines. The income levels may not be set lower than the federal poverty guidelines updated annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Following are the Income Limits set by the Board and used when determining poverty exemption guidelines for 2023 assessments. These rates are based on the amounts published by the US DHHS +25%:

Applications

It is necessary to apply for this exemption annually with the Assessing Department. Applicants must submit a completed application to the Assessing Department prior to the last meeting of the Board of Review. Exemptions may be granted at the March, July, or December Board of Review. As part of the application process, it is necessary to submit a copy of the most recent income tax return for each person living in the residence. To receive an application please call 517-323-8520.
