If there was a transfer of ownership on your property in 2023, your 2024 Taxable Value will be the same as your 2024 State 

Equalized Value. 

If there was not a transfer of ownership on your property in 2023, the Capped Value Formula is used. The 2024 Capped Value 

Formula is the 2023 Taxable Value, minus Losses, increased by the Inflation Rate Multiplier of 1.05 plus Additions. Taxable 

Value is the lower of Assessed Value or Capped Value. Your taxes are levied on the Taxable Value. 

Further appeal of valuation may be made to the Michigan Tax Tribunal by May 31, 2024 for commercial real, industrial real,
