Guidance regarding Form 1019, 

Notice of Assessment, Taxable Valuation, and Property Classification 

Not less than 14 days before the first meeting of the Board of Review, the assessment notice shall be mailed to the 

property owner. 

Property taxes are calculated based on the Taxable Value (Line 1). State Equalized Value is the Assessed Value multiplied 

by the Equalization Factor, if any. State Equalized Value must approximate 50% of market value. 

The Taxable Value number entered in the “Change from Prior Year to Current Year” Column, does not indicate a change in 

your taxes. The change in your tax bill is estimated above Line 1. 

State Equalized Value is the Assessed Value multiplied by the Equalization Factor, if any. State Equalized Value must 

approximate 50% of market value. 

IF THERE WAS A TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP on your property in 2025, your 2026 Taxable Value will be the same as 

your 2026 State Equalized Value. 

IF THERE WAS NOT A TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP on your property in 2025, your 2026 Taxable Value is calculated 

by multiplying your 2025 Taxable Value by 1.027 (Inflation Rate Multiplier for the current year). Physical changes in your 

property may also increase or decrease your Taxable Value. Your 2026 Taxable Value cannot be higher than your 2026 

State Equalized Value. 

The Taxable Value, the Assessed Value, the State Equalized Value, the Property Classification, or the Transfer of 

Ownership may be appealed by filing a protest with the Local Board of Review. Protests are made to the Board of 

Review by completing a Board of Review Petition Form. A Petition Form may be obtained directly from the local 

unit or from the Michigan Department of Treasury’s website at www.michigan.gov/taxes. Click on the “Property 

Taxes” box, select “Forms and Instructions,” then click on “Board of Review” to obtain a “Petition to the Board 

of Review,” Form 618 (L-4035). 

The denial of an exemption from the local school operating tax for “qualified agricultural properties” may be appealed to 

the local Board of Review. The denial of an exemption from the local school operating tax for a “homeowners principal 

residence” may be appealed to the Michigan Tax Tribunal by filing a petition within 35 days of issuance of this notice. The 

petition must be a form approved by the Michigan Tax Tribunal, which are available at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. 

Filing a protest with the Board of Review is necessary to protect your right to further appeal exemption disputes and 

valuation disputes involving property classified Agricultural Real or Personal, Residential, or Timber-Cutover to the 

Michigan Tax Tribunal and classification appeals to the State Tax Commission. Properties classified Commercial Real, 

Industrial Real or Developmental Real may be appealed to the regular March Board of Review or to the Michigan Tax 

Tribunal by filing a petition by May 31. Commercial Personal, Industrial Personal, or Utility Personal Property may be 

appealed to the March Board of Review or to the Michigan Tax Tribunal by filing a petition by May 31 if a personal property 

statement was filed with the local unit prior to the commencement of the Board of Review as provided by MCL 211.19, 

except as otherwise provided by MCL 211.9m, 211.9n and 211.90. An appeal of properties classified as Agricultural Real 

or Personal, Residential, or Timber-Cutover must be made to the Michigan Tax Tribunal by July 31. The petition must be a 

form approved by the Michigan Tax Tribunal, which are available at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. 

To claim a PRE, complete the “Principal Residence Exemption Affidavit” (Form 2368) and file it with your township or 

city of the year of the claim. A valid affidavit filed on or before June 1 allows an owner to receive a PRE on the current 

year summer and winter tax levy and subsequent tax levies so long as it remains the owner's principal residence. A valid 

affidavit filed after June 1 and on or before November 1 allows an owner to receive a PRE on the current winter tax levy 

and subsequent tax levies so long as it remains the owner's principal residence.
