Classification Matters - Personal Property Taxes

Beginning in 2008, the Michigan state legislature passed a large tax reduction for personal property classified as Industrial Property. As a result, personal property classified as Industrial Property receives an approximate 50% tax reduction when compared to personal property classified as Commercial Property. Thus, some assessing jurisdictions are reviewing the personal property tax reports of taxpaying businesses and are re-classifying tax-favored Industrial Property as Commercial Property on the assessors’ internal records.
