Questions

Hillsdale County questions

Data as of 20 Oct 2026 · Michigan statutes
When is the property tax appeal deadline in Hillsdale County?

Michigan law sets it: Protest during the March Board of Review session, which starts the second Monday in March (or the following Tuesday or Wednesday by local resolution); dates are on the notice. Residential appeals to the Tax Tribunal by July 31 (MCL 211.30, 205.735a(6)). Confirm the exact date on your notice or with the assessor.

Who hears a appeal in Hillsdale County?

The March Board of Review hears the first appeal. Filing rules: MCL 211.30; MCL 205.735a (Tax Tribunal).

What value should I compare on my Michigan notice?

Michigan notices often do not show a market value; compare the assessed value (“State Equalized Value (SEV)”) with what similar homes sold for, as of Tax day, December 31 of the preceding year (MCL 211.2(2)); true cash value is the usual selling price (MCL 211.27(1)).

Does Michigan cap assessment increases?

Proposal A: Taxable Value rises by the lesser of 5% or inflation (2026 multiplier 1.027) and never exceeds SEV; it uncaps to SEV the year after a transfer of ownership (Const. art. IX, §3; MCL 211.27a(2)–(3)).
