Michigan Tax Tribunal
Hey everyone,
My partners and I are currently considering filing an appeal to the Michigan Tax Tribunal to review our property taxes. We met with the local tax board a couple months ago and they were unwilling to budge. I was curious if anyone had any experience with this process and any tips. Specific questions we had are as follows:
- The local tax board in Grand Ledge, MI is being very uncooperative in providing us the details of the appraisal, namely the assumptions and calculations used. Is this normal? We're considering filing a FOIA to obtain the information but that seems excessive.
- Have others had success with the tribunal and if so, was it substantial?
- Ideas for questions to ask our lawyer prior to filing the appeal.
Thanks in advance for any feedback. We purchased the properties in September of last year so this is our first "rodeo" with the process.
