Straight from the Source: Michigan Department of Treasury Shares the Latest on Issues Impacting Local Government Meeting Rooms 103-104 Every year local governments must deal with the implications of Headlee, manage legislative changes to Michigan tax law, and comply with application and reporting requirements for grant funding made available by the state. The Michigan Department of Treasury is at the center of many of these issues. Key staff from the department will share the latest information on how inflation is impacting property taxes, recent changes to the personal property tax small taxpayer exemption, administration of the new personal property tax exemption for heavy rental equipment, and submission of applications for the municipal pension debt relief program. Much to unpack here, and Treasury officials will help break it down.

It will expand several rights Michiganders have when it comes to our elections, including allowing early voting and more absentee drop boxes. But what does it mean for your community and who is going to pay for this? It’s up to local governments to figure it out and this session is here to help. Join officials from the Michigan Secretary of State to get the latest on Proposal 2, and hear about potential legislation needed to implement it, and the overall impact on our communities.
