The need to reform Michigan's Special Assessment Laws

Join us for a webinar on Thursday, June 13, 2019 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT
* We changed the time of our webinar because we became aware of a different webinar that will draw many people that might otherwise be interested in our webinar. We apologize for any inconvenience this creates. *
Even though special assessments are meant to apportion the cost of infrastructure improvements among properties that are the primary beneficiaries, Michigan law allows them to be levied across entire units of government and the revenue used to fund core municipal services — public safety. In doing so, local governments are able to skirt constitutional and property tax limitations. This webinar will describe this issue and discuss potential remedies.
