Assessor
December 18, 2023
The assessing staff will be away from the office for the holiday season. The Assessing office will
be closed December 22nd through January 1st. We will be back at our desks on January 2nd. If you
need assistance, please leave a voicemail OR send an email with your concern – we will respond as
we are available.
As 2023 comes to a close, there are some important deadlines for property owners.
• The assessing staff is completing fieldwork for the 2024 assessment roll. We will be out the
week of December 18th to complete inspections of new construction and any remaining parcels that
have not been inspected for the reappraisal of the agricultural study.
• December 31st is the filing deadline for Form 4640 – Conditional Rescission of Principal
Residence Exemption.
• December 31st is the filing deadline for Form 865 (L4293) – Request for Non-consideration of
True Cash Value of Normal Repair, Replacement and Maintenance Expenditures. This exemption request
is available to parcels in the Residential (400) class on the assessment roll. The form is
available on the Bruce Township website. Please call or email if you have any questions.
• For any parcels approved in 2023 for a Land Division, it is required a recorded document be
filed by December 31, 2023 to establish ownership of the new parcels for the 2024 assessment roll.
The approval of the land division expires after 12 months from the Township Board decision. If the
documents are recorded after December 31st and before the expiration of the Land Division approval,
the new parcels will be created on the 2025 assessment roll.
• December 31st is also the deadline for submitting a request to combine parcels on the
assessment roll. Parcels must meet the following criteria:
o Property taxes must be paid including the current Winter 2023 tax bill.
o Parcels that will be combined must be in the same ownership.
o Parcels must be in the same section, town and range OR same plat.
We wish you a safe and jolly holiday season….. Pam and Katie
