In accordance with the General Property Tax Laws of the State of Michigan, the City of Lake Angelus’s Assessor’s Office estimates the true cash value, assessed value and taxable value of every parcel of real and personal property within the City of Lake Angelus. The Assessor’s Office is responsible for the valuation of all real and personal property in the City of Lake Angelus that is not specifically exempted by law. It prepares assessment rolls and evaluates all new construction and improvements to real property.

The taxable status of property is determined as of December 31 of each year for the next tax year.

The Michigan State Tax Commission requires periodic inspection of all real property parcels. Inspections are necessary to maintain complete and accurate assessment records and the assessor may survey, examine or review properties at any time during the year.

The Assessor’s Office reviews the assessment records of both new construction and existing property throughout the year. Schedules vary significantly from one project to another; therefore, the Office may make a number of inspections of a property throughout the year.

Monday – Friday By Appointment (excluding observed holidays)

Taxpayers may contact Assessor Jennifer Werthman by phone at 248-332-3916 ext 2 or email. Responses are typically provided within three (3) business days.

To schedule an in-person meeting or request to inspect or obtain records, contact the Assessing Department using the information above. A staff member will be assigned as needed; a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request may be required.

The market value of your property is simply the probable price that it would sell for in a normal transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller. The Assessor is required by state law to assess at 50% of true cash value all assessable property, as of December 31 of each year. This includes residential, commercial and personal property (machinery, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment for commercial and industrial properties).

The Assessor takes various factors into account when establishing property value, including:

• Description of the property and its improvements
• Lot dimensions
• Age of home and/or other buildings
• Land value
• Building square footage
• Value-enhancing amenities
• Vacant and improved sale properties

The Notice of Assessment, Taxable Valuation and Property Classification is sent to every property owner on an annual basis. An explanation of it follows:

The amount in the CHANGE column does NOT reflect the change in tax dollars for current year. The CHANGE column is simply the difference between the previous year values and the current year values.

Note the statement: This change in taxable value will increase/decrease your current year tax bill by approximately: Following this statement the estimated increase or decrease in your current year tax bill will be estimated. This estimate excludes any significant change in the millage/tax rates.

The Board of Review reviews the assessment roll received from the Assessor to check to see it is complete, accurate, uniform and valid. They conduct public hearings in March to hear appeals from property owners.

Each year, prior to the March meetings of the local board of review, assessment change notices are mailed. These informational notices include State Equalized Value, Taxable Value, the percent of exemption as a Principal Residence, and whether or not an Ownership Transfer has occurred. If you believe the Assessed Value is more than half the value of your property, you may appeal the Assessed and/or Taxable Values at the March Board of Review.
