State Sets Inflation Rate for 2012 Property Tax Assessments
Each year, the Michigan Constitution requires an inflation rate be calculated to be used for property tax purposes. The state used the federal Consumer Price Index to set the rate. For property tax assessments that will be mailed next March, the official inflation factor will be 2.7 percent. This would impact any property that is increasing in value or where there is a difference between the taxable value and state equalized value.
