The following is a summary of our Township values in terms of Assessed Values and Taxable Values. Most of the information is self-explanatory.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Independence Township Assessing Office at (248) 625-8114.

Assessed Value (AV) represents 50% of the Market Value or True Cash Value on any one property or of the Township as a whole.

Taxable Value (TV) is the value upon which millage rates are applied to levy taxes. Taxable Value is the product of the previous year’s Taxable Value minus losses, multiplied by the CPI (-0.3%) plus additions (new construction).

During the 2009 year, there were no major commercial or residential projects appraised which would have added value to the 2010 Assessment Roll, although there was a large amount of Personal Property added to the roll due to the opening of the Clarkston Medical Building and the McLaren-North Equities Cancer Center.
