TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that an owner or party in interest in a lot or parcel of land subject to a special assessment may file a written appeal of the special assessment with the State Tax Tribunal within 30 days after the date of the confirmation of the special assessment roll, but only if said owner or party in interest appears and protests the special assessment at this hearing. An appearance may be made by an owner or party in interest, or his or her agent, in person, or in the alternative, an appearance or protest can be filed with the Township by letter prior to the hearing in which case a personal appearance at the hearing is not required. Kinross Charter Township has determined the necessity to operate and maintain a Police Department for the area contained within the former Kincheloe Air Force Base. On August 25, 1981, the Township made final determination of a special assessment district known as the 1981 Police Special Assessment District. It is the intention of the Township to annually determine the estimated costs and expenses for the police protection within this special assessment district and to fund all or part of these estimated costs and expenses by special assessment on properties in this district.

The Township has estimated the costs and expenses of police protection for the Township's April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026 fiscal year and has determined that funds will be available from other sources, if any. The Township pursuant to Michigan law intends to impose special assessments on benefited property within the special assessment district to pay for the costs of police protection for the 2025 through 2026 fiscal year, which are unavailable from other sources of revenue. The Township has on file the proposed special assessment roll for the police district. The benefited properties, which includes residential, commercial and industrial will be taxes as follows:

10.00 MILLS APPLIED TO THE TAXABLE VALUATION

These special assessments will be payable with your December 1, 2024 tax bill.

This noticed was authorized by the Township Board of the Charter Township of Kinross.
