From February 1, 2009 to February 15, 2009, City of Detroit homeowners will have the chance to appeal the assessed property value of their home. According to the Assessment Division, no prior paperwork needs to be completed. Homeowners need to arrive at City Hall to report to room 804. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. I imagine there will be many taxpayers appearing and wouldn't be surprised if many arrived early. February 1 is actually a Sunday, so I assume appeals will actually begin on February 2nd.

Below you will find contact information for Detroit's Finance Assessment Division.

When I contacted the office, they said there were no forms to fill out and bring, they also didn't mention anything else to bring. I would have tax bills from the last couple years, ID and patience. A large turn out is expected.

Good Luck!

I actually received a notice that they will be open on Saturday as well.  I already went down there for one of my properties and found out they will reducing my taxes already by $600 and based on my discussion with the assessor...more will be taken off after I go through the appeal process.

 

FYI...don't hire one of those companies that charge for doing this...it's a waste of money.

No THe Fascists in the City of Detroit Finance Division demand that YOU APPEAR IN PERSON.

This is so it will be a HASSLE FOR YOU and less people will appeal.

They want to make it as hard as possible. Then you MUST APPEAR IN PERSON at the appeal meeting (Which automatically occurs because they don't want to lower your taxes). Thus further denying people justice and ripping them off

This is so the City of Detroit can RIP YOU OFF from what is fair and equitable.
