1814 Property Tax Matters
Author/Co-Authors:
Crawford
(Ways and Means)
Provides that the administrative orders and procedures act does not apply to
the department of local government finance (DLGF). Removes the DLGF and the
board of tax review from the review process for economic revitalization area
deductions and enterprise zone inventory credits. Requires the county assessor
to conduct equalization among townships in the year of a general reassessment.
Provides that certain DLGF final determinations are appealable to the tax court.
Requires a township trustee to estimate and publish poor relief information.
Permits the DLGF to extend certain deadlines for tax increment replacement
purposes. Provides that the procedure for correction of assessment errors does
not apply to a utility. Eliminates the requirements for: (1) the DLGF to certify
fixed property utility assessments to the counties; (2) a political subdivision
to certify to the county auditor a transfer of money from one major budget
classification to another within a department; (3) the DLGF to review per diem
for certain assessor training; and (4) the division of data analysis to review
federal income tax returns. Adjusts a requirement for the county auditor to
certify certain information. Limits the time between initiation of certain
financings and DLGF approval. Validates certain certifications made by a county
auditor after a prescribed date. Makes technical changes.
