Assessing Department

Welcome to the Assessing Department!

Your Garfield Township Assessing Department is entrusted with the responsibility to maintain the Garfield Township assessment rolls for all assessable property, real and personal, located within our borders.

Assessment and taxable value determinations are made in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 211 of the Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL), otherwise known as the "General Property Tax Act".

While most of our information comes from public documents - recorded deeds, land contracts, and Property Transfer Affidavits, submitted plans, and physical inspections of properties - an important link in this chain that is sometimes overlooked is you, our residents.

We recommend that our residents review their assessment information to ensure the accuracy of our information.  We can only enter your home when you let us, so there may be changes that we are unaware of.  We make every effort to accurately describe all property in the township, but the best information regarding your property will always come from you.

With very limited exceptions, all information in our office is of public record and may be reviewed by anyone during our normal business hours.  Please stop by and see us if you have any questions or if you would like to review your property record card.
