211 W. Main Street P.O. Box 368 Stanton, MI 48888 Phone: 989-831-7492 Fax: 989-831-7427 Equalization is a process of analyzing sales and appraisal data to support value changes in the free market of real estate. The information gathered by equalization staff members is used to assist the assessors of local units to determine if their assessments are being maintained at a 50% of True Cash Value as required. The results will indicate which direction up or down the assessment should be heading for the coming year. This year poor market conditions and foreclosures, happening in your neighborhoods have added to the difficulty and complexity of the process. With fewer sales, market value is more difficult to predict. In Montcalm County lower market prices are similar in most of the local units. Lower sale prices support individual cuts in the County Equalized Values for most of the local units of government. Due to the economic situation of Montcalm County many property owners will actually see a reduction in taxable value. This is caused by the reduction of the State Equalization Value which is half of the Market Value of your property. The 2009 C.P.I. is less than 1% which will mean that Proposal ‘A’ Public Act 237 house bill 5345, which requires the taxable value to increase by 5% or the cost price index (CPI) (.977) which ever is the lowest, will hold the taxable value from raising this year. Tax payers will have less of a burden in their tax bills, while governmental budgets will lose funds needed to maintain services that the public benefits and demands. This may be a trend in the immediate future of property taxes. Online Parcel Information: Updated 10-27-09 Local Assessor's List: Assessor Responsiblities: Parcel Identification Number, Break Down.
