Tax Overview
Assessing Overview
Tax Overview
The Tax Department is responsible for collecting all current real
and personal property taxes for the City of Northville as well as
Delinquent Personal Property. The Tax Department will assist persons
requesting tax information for real and/or personal property.
Information on a parcel could be in regards to legal descriptions,
property and mailing addresses, name of taxpayer, assessed and
taxable value, homestead status, escrow agents, summer tax deferment
and current tax payment status. Applications are available through
the Treasurer's Office for summer tax deferment. (To
view "Application For Deferment of Summer Taxes" click here.)
After 1994, a taxable value was determined for each property in
addition to the State Equalized Value (SEV). Taxable value is
the lower of either capped value or SEV. Capped values that are
increased are limited to the lesser of 5% or the rate of inflation
over the previous year's taxable value. Although SEV is still based
on market conditions, taxable value is in place to control property
taxes.
Tax payments can be made at the Northville branch of Comerica
Bank and Community Federal Credit Union by:
Submitting the original tax bill
Paying on or before the due date
For your convenience, a payment drop box is located inside the
front entrance doors of City Hall at 215 West Main Street. If you
have any questions, please call the Tax Department at 248-449-9901,
or
contact the City Treasurer by email.
Delinquent Tax Sale
The General Property Tax Act, Public Act 206 of 1893, as amended,
requires the County Treasurer to foreclose real property for failure
to pay delinquent property taxes. See County website for
information, rules and regulations.
Oakland County
Wayne County
Assessing Overview
The Assessing Department keeps records on all properties
including land and buildings. The "traditional" assessed value is
still required by law to be established at 50% of true cash value.
The State Constitution still requires the assessed value to be
uniform with the assessments of other similar properties.
According to the Michigan Supreme Court, a Board of Review may
not make wholesale or across the board adjustments to assessments. A
Board of Review must consider each parcel and act upon it
individually. A Board of Review did not have and does not now have
the authority to make changes to alter, evade or defeat an
equalization factor assigned by the county or the state.
NEITHER PROPOSAL A NOR ITS IMPLEMENTING LANGUAGE AUTHORIZED
ASSESSORS OR BOARDS OF REVIEW TO "FOLLOW SALES" WHEN DETERMINING THE
ASSESSED VALUE OF PROPERTIES. "FOLLOWING SALES" IS DESCRIBED IN THE
ASSESSOR'S MANUAL AS THE PRACTICE OF IGNORING THE ASSESSMENT OF
PROPERTIES WHICH HAVE NOT RECENTLY BEEN SOLD WHILE MAKING
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE ASSESSMENTS OF PROPERTIES WHICH HAVE BEEN
SOLD. THE PRACTICE OF "FOLLOWING SALES" IS A SERIOUS VIOLATION OF
THE LAW.
