PUBLISHED POLICY
Public Act 660 of 2018, Property Assessing Reform amended the General Property Tax Act to provide statutory
framework to ensure proper assessing in order to guarantee the highest quality assessments for taxpayers, as
well as local units. The Act defines the requirements for substantial compliance with the General Property Tax
Act, provides timelines for audits and follow-up audits, and details a process for bringing a local unit into
compliance if they remain non-compliant after a follow-up review.
PA 660 contains several requirements in statute (MCL 211.10g(1)) that local units and assessors must follow.
Subject to State Tax Commission guidelines, the local unit is required to publish a policy under which its
assessor’s office is reasonably accessible to taxpayers.
The FROST Township Assessor’s published policy is as follows:
- A designation, by name, telephone number, and electronic mail address of at least one official or
employee in the assessor’s office to whom taxpayer inquiries may be submitted directly by telephone
or electronic mail.
Assessor of Record: James L VanWormer, MCAO
Telephone number: (989)965-1316
Electronic Mail Address: jamesvanwormer@gmail.com
- An estimated response time for taxpayer inquiries submitted under subparagraph (1), not to exceed
seven (7) business days.
The Assessor estimates a response time for taxpayer inquiries submitted under subparagraph
(1), not to exceed seven (7) business days from the date of inquiry.
- Information about how a taxpayer may arrange a meeting with an official or employee of the
assessor’s office for purposes of discussing an inquiry in person.
In-person meetings may be scheduled with the Assessor through the designated contact
information provided in subparagraph (1).
- Information about how requests for inspection of or production of records maintained by the
assessor’s office should be made by a taxpayer and how those requests will be handled by the
assessor’s office.
Taxpayer requests for inspection or production of records maintained by the Assessor can be
made with the Assessor through the designated contact information provided in subparagraph
(1).
Inspection requests will be scheduled on a mutually agreeable date and time between the
taxpayer and the Assessor. Records maintained by the Assessor will be provided to the taxpayer
by mail, electronic mail, or as determined and agreed upon by the taxpayer and Assessor.
- Information about any process that the assessor’s office may have to informally hear and resolve
disputes brought by taxpayers before the March meeting of the Board of Review.
Taxpayers may have their assessment reviewed by the Assessor at any time to informally hear
and/or resolve disputes before the March meeting of the Board of Review. The assessment
process is an annual process, and information is gathered and assembled throughout the year
to make changes for the following year. The Assessor has no authority to change an assessment
for the current year. Any changes after the first Monday in March must be made by the Board
of Review before their last scheduled meeting in March.
