Property Tax
Michigan has been hard hit by the economic turmoil over the past several years. Nowhere has that been felt more than at the local level. With revenue sharing cuts and reduced property tax values, local governments have seen a surge in challenges to property tax assessments. The attorneys of Foster Swift have extensive experience in matters before the Michigan Tax Tribunal involving property tax assessments and assessment appeals. Our experience in this area has involved many major cases, including significant commercial and industrial appeals.
Foster Swift attorneys provide assistance with:
- tax assessment;
- tax collection;
- special assessment issues, particularly in complex cases; and
- drafting millage language.
