State Equalized Value vs. Taxable Value - 04/16/12 11:53 AM
Back in 1994, the State of Michigan passed Public Act 237 that revised the way property taxes were calculated. TAXABLE VALUE was introduced to the system as the value that property taxes would be calculated from. Prior to the passage of this legislation, the State Equalized Value (SEV) of a property was the value that taxes were calculated from. SEV, by law, is supposed to reflect 50% of a properties Market Value. What then does Taxable Value represent?
TAXABLE VALUE is an inflation adjusted value placed on the property over time. The legislation limits increases in the TAXABLE VALUE to the lesser of 5% or the … (0 comments)

Principal Residence Exemption - Michigan - 04/15/12 02:30 PM
 
One of the questions we get quite often as a REALTOR is, "What is the Principal Residence Exemption and how does it work?" The Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) came about in Michigan in 1994 with voter approval of Proposition "A". The PRE was one part of the PA 237 that was designed to relieve the property tax pressure that was occurring because of rapidly increasing property values, and to level the funding available to school systems in disparate economic areas of the state.
If you are a Michigan Resident, have filed a valid PRE Affidavit, meaning you own and occupy the … (0 comments)

Two Factors Shaping Kalamazoo's Future - 04/08/12 05:21 AM
In my blog, "Why Kalamazoo", I mentioned the presentation made by Ron Kitchens to the Greater Kalamazoo Association of Realtors. One of the things Ron talked about was the High Speed Rail System that is being developed between Detroit and Chicago. "Next stop......Kalamazoo!" Big city folk already spend hours in their cars commuting to expensive suburbs; so why not spend a couple of hours relaxing, or even extending your work day, as you let the engineer "drive"? Ron's point was, with this high speed rail, Kalamazoo will become a commuter destination for Chicagoans looking for a great smaller city in which to … (0 comments)

Why Kalamazoo? - 04/07/12 06:37 PM
I went to a short talk a couple of weeks ago given by Ron Kitchens, Chief Executive Officer at Southwest Michigan First, a private economic development group of companies in Kalamazoo. I always come away from Ron's presentations enthused, and happy that I live where I live. I'm not a demographer, but would say the Kalamazoo metro area is on the smaller end of medium sized. with the population of Kalamazoo County at just over 250,000. Wow! For this size, Kalamazoo County has so much to offer, and in a balanced sort of way.
Let's start with the broad based economy. … (0 comments)
