The primary purpose of the March Board of Review is to hear valuation disputes related to the assessment of property. The Board may correct any assessment as it seems just if any property appears to be wrongfully assessed or omitted from the roll. Poverty exemptions and personal property late filing requests are also considered.
Residents may appeal in person by scheduling an appointment with the Assessor’s office at (269) 964-9167. Residents may also appeal via written appeal. Written appeals must be accompanied by a signed Form L-4035 and supporting documentation submitted to the Township Office.
The July and December Board of Review can only address Clerical Errors and Mutual Mistakes of Fact related to real and personal property assessments. Appeals may also be heard for current year only poverty exemption requests, but not poverty exemptions which were denied by the March Board of Review. The July and December Board of Reviews are prohibited from hearing disputes related to Property Valuation.
