Miscellaneous Resolution I 22134
By General Government Committee - Wallace F. Gabler, Jr., Chairperson
In re: Support of House Bill #5485, Administrative Fees to Cover
Property Tax Collections
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS House Bill #5485 would rename the present property tax
collection fee to the property tax administrative fee to more accurately
reflect the actual purpose of such fee; and
WHEREAS said administrative fees are not only used to cover the
cost of collecting taxes but also to defray the cost of assessing and billing
operations; and
WHEREAS the passage of House Bill #5485 would considerably lessen
the chance that the fees could be overturned in the courts and thus enable
cities and townships to continue to meet the cost of administering the
property tax.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners goes on record in support of House Bill #5485 and urges the
state legislature to pass said bill which would amend the general property tax
act by renaming the present one percent collection fee to the property tax
administrative fee,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
Oakland County's legislative representatives in Lansing, the House Committee
on Taxation, the Michigan Municipal League and the county's legislative agent.
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the General Government Committee,
I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution,
