Property Transfer Affidavits

The filling of a Property Transfer Affidavit (PTA) is required whenever Real Estate is transferred, even if you are not recording a deed. It must be filed by the new owner (buyer) with the Assessor within 45 days of transfer. If you have recently been involved in a property transfer and have not filed this affidavit, contact the City Assessor's Office at (248) 546-4070.

Summer Tax Shift 

The legislature has approved a tax shift of the County tax rate, normally collected in December, to have one-third collected on the July 2005 summer tax bill. The remaining two-thirds will be collected on the winter 2005 tax bill. This shift will continue with two-thirds to be collected on the July 2006 summer tax bill, leaving one-third in December of 2006, with the final shift being 100% of the County operating taxes on the July bill in 2007. The purpose of this shift is to allow the counties in the State of Michigan to collect their levies early to invest the funds to make up for the fact that they will no longer be receiving Revenue Sharing from the State. The shift will allow cities, townships and villages to remain funded with revenue sharing. Without this shift municipalities would have lost their State Share Revenue monies.
