Board of Review
Board of Review Structure
The Board of Review consists of three persons appointed by the
Township Board, Board of Review members serve two-year terms
starting on January 1 of each odd-numbered year. Members of a
Township Board of review must be voters of the township, at least 18
years old, a U.S. citizen, and must have lived in the township for
at least 30 days. They may not be an assessor's relative. There are
no statutory requirements regarding skills, training or experience
that members must meet. Board members should be citizens interested
in the public good, to the goal of fair, just and equitable property
tax administration.
Our 2011 Board of Review members are Henry Hogan, Susan Aulgur
and Rick Henry. Mr. Hogan is a realtor with Max Broock, a lawyer and
former state representative. Mrs. Aulgur is a realtor, developer and
Independence Township commercial property owner. Mr. Henry is a
State Licensed Real Estate Appraiser.
2011 March Board of Review
Notice of 2011 Assessment, Taxable Valuation and Property
Classification (Assessment Change Notices) were mailed out the end
of February and indicated the change in Assessed and Taxable Values
from last year to this 2011 year. If you disagreed with the value,
your recourse was to schedule an appointment to appeal your Assessed
Value at the March Board of Review. The Assessed Value represents
50% of market value.
Please remember that the March Board of
Review is an appeal process to review property values, not tax
bills. The Board of Review has no jurisdiction over the millage
rates that are multiplied against taxable values in order to
calculate the tax bill. Those appeals were for the 2011 tax year
only.

2011 December Board of Review
