Mich. Admin. Code R. 209.31 - General policy statement
Rule 31.
(1) The
commission does not have jurisdiction to hear a taxpayer request to remove
personal property from the roll when the taxpayer fails to file or fails to
timely file a personal property statement.
(2) In addition to the authority to add real
property to the roll, the commission has jurisdiction to remove real property
from the roll. Examples include, but are not limited to the following:
(a) Incorrect measurement.
(b) Errors of inclusion, for example, pole
barn not built or placed on an incorrect parcel.
(3) The commission does not have jurisdiction
to add or remove property for a period before the last change of ownership of
the property.
(4) All required
information shall be provided to the commission at the time a petition is
filed. This includes fully filling out the form with all required information
and providing a record card or applicable personal property statement or
statements and any other information requested by staff. A violation of this
subrule shall result in dismissal of the petition.
(5) An assessor shall file a petition under
MCL 211.154 with the commission to remove real or personal property upon
discovery that a correction needs to be made and when the commission has
jurisdiction. For example, if a taxpayer timely filed personal property
statements and an audit results in 2 years of underpayment by the taxpayer and
1 year of overpayment, then the assessor shall file for all 3 years.
(6) In subrule (5) of this rule, the assessor
shall not "net out" the overpayment and underpayment, all 3 years shall be
filed.
(7) The commission will not
accept jurisdiction of a petition that is a dispute over classification. For
example, the commission will not accept jurisdiction over petitions that
indicate property was incorrectly reported as industrial real when it should be
industrial personal. This dispute should be addressed through the filing of a
classification appeal and not through the filing of any MCL 211.154
petition.
