Assessment Notification

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 2012. The CHANGE column is simply the difference between the 2011 values and the 2012 values.

The change in property tax for 2012 for a property WITH THE HOMEOWNER’S PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE EXEMPTION will be approximately $40.00 for every one thousand dollars of change in the Taxable Value (Change column, Line #1). The $40.00 estimate excludes any changes in the millage/tax rate.

For example, let’s say the Change in Taxable Value (“CHANGE “ column, Line #1) equals $1,000. This means the 2012 taxable value on the property has increased by $1,000 from 2011. The calculation to estimate the change in property tax is 1,000 x .040 = $40.00. Therefore, $40.00 would be the estimated change in property taxes for 2012.

The above estimate excludes any significant change in the millage/tax rates.

For NON-HOMESTEAD PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE EXEMPTION property substitute:

• $49.49 (.0494) for Bloomfield School District or
• $54.65 (.0546) for Avondale School District or
• $49.30 (.0493) for Pontiac School District or
• $50.05 (.0500) for Birmingham School District

in the above formula
