RE: HOUSE BILL 5640 (OPPOSE) TAX ABATEMENTS FOR RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, House Bill 5640 would authorize tax abatements for residential
developments by providing for the issuance of proprietor exemption certificates
by local governmental units; and
WHEREAS, this bill provides under proprietor exemption certificates for
an exemption from 50 percent of the ad valorem real and personal property taxes
imposed under the general property tax act for a period of three years; and
WHEREAS, House Bill 5640 would create yet another tax base eroding mechanism
to put further financial pressure on local governmental units; and
WHEREAS, this proposed legislation would be an added burden to local unit
assessing departments which would be required to maintain additional data and
reports and print a separate assessment roil.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
takes a position opposing House Bill 5640.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all
Oakland County State Legislators, the Board's Legislative Agent, the Michigan
