Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.

Electronic property records with capped fees

Michigan county treasurers must provide qualifying current-tax-year parcel records from electronic files they maintain, control, or possess. Separate electronic fees cannot exceed 30 cents per parcel record or $2,000 per request. Covered data include taxable, state equalized, and assessed values; past sales; property class and address; and parcel identification numbers. They also include owner and taxpayer names and addresses, principal residence status, other tax equalization data, special assessments, total millage rates, individual millage lists, and winter and summer tax bill amounts. Both seasonal bill amounts count as one request with one $2,000 cap when both are available at the time requested. Records must be sent electronically using a format documented by an open standards organization, with clearly defined, separated fields. Treasurers do not have to supply information they do not maintain, control, or possess.

Higher minimum fee for tax-payment statements

Michigan county treasurers charge 20 cents per land description for tax-payment statements required under section 135. The minimum rises from $1 to $5 per statement. Other listed fees are 25 cents per year per land description for tax abstracts, including those listing taxpayers’ names and residences. Paper copies cost 25 cents per 100 words, and certificates cost 25 cents each. Abstracts, lists, copies, and statements have a 50-cent minimum. A charter county with more than 2,000,000 people can set different fees by ordinance, but not above service costs. These fees go to the county’s general fund; separate rules apply to qualifying electronic records.

Commercial resale of electronic records banned

People and businesses cannot resell copies of county treasurer records for a commercial purpose. This ban applies to copies obtained under the law’s electronic-records rules.
