The City hereby establishes the following procedures and minimum standards as a guideline for the determination of poverty hardship exemptions as intended pursuant to MCL § 211.7(u) and Public Acts of 1994, No. 390:
The applicant must be the owner of and occupy as a homestead the property for which the exemption is requested.
The applicant must timely file a claim with the Board of Review on a form provided by the City Assessor’s office. Federal and state returns for the immediately preceding year shall be submitted for all owners and all persons residing in the household
The applicant must produce a valid driver's license or other form of identification if requested by the Board of Review.
The applicant must produce a deed, land contract or other evidence of ownership of the property for which an exemption is requested if required by the Board of Review.
The income of all property owners, including that of each householder as defined by P.A. 390 of 1994, must not be more than that amount set by the Federal Government in its poverty level standards.
The valuation of assets owned by all property owners and any householder must not be greater than $75,000. In determining the value of assets, any equity in the residence under appeal shall not be included.
Consideration for the granting of a poverty hardship exemption shall be made after calculating all property tax rebates, including but not limited to the Michigan homestead property tax credit.
Based on the information provided, the Board of Review will make a determination whether a full or partial exemption will be granted.
The City Assessor and the Board of Review may accept a regular real estate mortgage and note to secure the amounts advanced by the City for the payment of the pauper's tax billing.
