Principal
Residence Exemption Affidavit
Public Acts 312 and 331 of 1993 provided for a principal
residence exemption from a portion of school operating taxes.
Homeowners are required to fill out an affidavit to claim this
exemption. The filing deadline is May 1. The exemption will remain
in place until December 31. An already existing filing will not
require any additional filing as long as the exemption status
remains unchanged. Any time the exemption status of a property
changes, the party or parties are required to file an affidavit with
the assessor for the city or township where the property is located.
Michigan Department of Treasury Form 2602, Request to
Rescind/Withdraw Principal Residence Exemption, is required to be
filed if you wish to adjust an exemption. (
Form 2602, "Request to Rescind/Withdraw Principal Exemption)
Examples of reasons to file this form are: sale of your principal
residence to a new owner; conversion of part or all of your
principal residence to a rental; and, your property is receiving an
exemption in error and did not qualify.
Michigan Department of Treasury Form 2368, Principal Residence
Exemption Affidavit, is required to be filed if you wish to receive
an exemption. (
Form 2368, Principal Residence Exemption Affidavit) Once you
file on a residence, no additional filings are required as long as
the claimant's exemption status remains unchanged. A property
must be owned and occupied as a principal residence on or before May
1 to qualify as a homestead for that assessment year. Filing
deadlines require the receipt by the Assessor's Office or a postmark
on or before May 1.
