Property Tax
Relief
 For seniors on a fixed income, and others who may be
experiencing a difficulty in paying their property taxes at this
time, there may be help. Under the
poverty guidelines, you can receive partial relief from the
Board of Review. A poverty claim can only be considered on a
person's principal residence. To qualify, you must first fill
out the hardship application in its entirety, and provide the income
tax information for all persons living in the home. You must
also provide a Homestead Property Tax Credit form (MI-1040CR), even
if you are not required to file income tax forms. The Board of
Review encourages you to provide any other information that may shed
light on your situation (for example: excessive medical costs
or out-of-pocket insurance fees). Each case is considered on an
individual basis; however there are certain guidelines established
for fairness. If you have received a reduction in the past based on
your appeal or because of poverty, it will not carry over from year
to year. Poverty reduction is not a permanent change to your
record by the Assessor's office. You must appeal every year.
