Taxable Value:  Tax bills will be calculated on the Taxable Value of all properties in accordance with “Proposal A” of 1994. Taxable Value is the lesser of the State Equalized Value or “capped value” (determined by multiplying the previous year’s taxable value less losses by the capped inflation rate of 1.031, plus any additions). Property ownership transfers result in the setting of the Taxable Value equal to the State Equalized Value in the following tax year.
 
Property Ratios and Factors:  In accordance with Act 165 of the Public Acts of 1971, the current Analysis for Equalized Valuation submitted to Kent County indicates a ratio of assessed to true cash value of fifty percent (50%) for all classes.  Based upon this, it is estimated that the assessment equalization factor for 2025 will be 1.0000 for all classes.

Please call Susan Slater, Township Clerk at 616-949-1508 to coordinate compliance with the non-discrimination requirements contained in section 35.107 of the Department of Justice regulations.  Requests for accommodation under the ADA should be addressed to the ADA coordinator, preferably at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting.
