City of Grand Rapids

Assessor's Office

The Assessor’s Office administers the property tax laws of the State of Michigan. We prepare the assessment roll for all non-exempt properties in the City. We mail you a notice of assessed value for your property on an annual basis in January. Every year, we determine the true cash value (TCV) of each taxable property within the City. Every taxable property is assessed at 50% of the TCV.

You'll find information about some of our services here on our main page, such as our Assessment Roll Report and Annual Review Program. You can also find forms for exemptions and appeals.

Personal Property Tax

If you're a business owner in Michigan, and you're not exempt, you'll have to pay Personal Property tax for the furniture and equipment you own. This means you'll have to file a Personal Property Tax Statement to let the Assessor know the value of your property.

Real Property Tax

If you own property, you'll receive a property tax statement every year. The Assessor's Office is responsible for determining Assessed Value, Taxable Value and Capped Value for your property.
