Board of Assessment Appeals
Why have I received an updated Personal Property assessment?
Due to the passage of House Bill 7067, Public Act 25-2 (pgs 5-9) in March 2025, you may have received an updated notice for your Personal Property Assessment if you had any motor vehicles declared as Personal Property on your declaration filed in 2024.
