When does the Board of Review (BOR) start its activities?

The Board of Review (BOR) begins its activities on the second Monday in March. This timing aligns with the property tax assessment process in Michigan, where the BOR is tasked with hearing appeals from property owners regarding their property assessments. The hearings allow property owners to contest the assessed value placed on their properties by local assessors, which directly influences their property taxes.

Starting on the second Monday in March provides sufficient time after the local assessors have finalized the assessments on the first of March, enabling the property owners to review their assessments and prepare for any appeal. The timeline is structured to ensure that all parties involved have adequate opportunities to present their cases, thereby maintaining a fair and transparent process for property tax assessment appeals.
