Special Assessment paving is done on a first come, first serve basis and as road

funds permit. Since 1987 in Geneva Township 29 special assessment paving projects

have been completed, covering 29+ miles. Special assessment for roads is spread

over six years with 25% of the cost of paving is paid by property owners with no

interest. The township pays for all road preparation and 75% of the paving cost.

If you are interested in receiving more information about special

assessment paving - please contact Nancy Whaley at 427-7607.

In 2010 needed maintenance was performed on various roads. Three miles seal

coat, three miles crack seal, 3 miles fog seal and other general maintenance.

Construction 62nd Street - Baseline to CR 388 - Reconstruction, mill and pave. Failure

of cross culverts replaced in three areas. Drainage work Church Street/CR 681.

In 1984 Geneva Township voters approved 3 mill levy for road work. This millage

has been renewed consistently by voters and current renewal expires 12/31/12. THANK YOU for SUPPORTING the ROAD MILLAGE RENEWAL.

Geneva Township & General Taxing InformationSTATE EQUALIZED VALUE (SEV)

State Equalized Value should be 50% if the Market Appraised Value. 2011 some residential propertiesrealized an average 18% decrease in SEV. Since 1994 (Proposal A adoption) and you have not removed oradded any real property to your assessment, you have seen your SEV and TV spread reach up to a 20%lesser TV than SEV. In 2011 your SEV may have increased or decreased and your TV increased the 1.7%CPI for 2011.

TAXABLE VALUE (TV)Taxable Value is number used to calculate property taxes. Formula is Taxable Value times the millage rate foryour property. Millage rate is different in each school district, as well as whether property is exempt underPrincipal Residence Exemption or non-Principal Resident Exempt. Increase in Taxable value is limited to 5%or the CPI for the current year. Formula used in figuring Taxable value is: example:

Current Taxable Value $10,000- Losses (if any) $ 1,000 If any occur, loss of building, sale of part of property.Adjusted Taxable Value $ 9,000CPI Adjustment X .017 CPI - 2011 1.7%Plus or (Minus) $ 153= Adjusted Taxable Value $ 9,153+ Plus Additions (if any) $ 2,000 If any occur, new building, additions to property.Adjusted Taxable Value $11,153 Millage rate X Taxable Value = Tax Dollars owed.

STATE EQUALIZED VALUE (SEV) - TAXABLE VALUE (TV) CHANGESWhen property changes ownership, the first year of new ownership the SEV now becomes the Taxable Value(TV) which could see adjustments up or down from the current SEV based on property and land values. Whenbuying property you cannot assume you will be paying the same amount of taxes of the previousowner. Properties are “uncapped” when ownership is changed which normally sees an increase in Taxablevalue and TAX DOLLARS.

Taxable Value Rates of IncreasePROPOSAL "A" became effective in 1994 by vote of the people in Michigan. It changed the structureof value that taxes are levied against. In 1994 the State Equalized Value became the Taxable Value.Since 1995 significant raises have occurred in the State Equalized Value, however the Taxable Valuecan only raise with the following limits:

LIMIT: 5% or Annual Determination of the Consumer Price Index

TAXABLE VALUE INCREASES2.6% for 1995 Tax Year 3.2% for 2002 Tax Year2.8% for 1996 Tax Year 1.5% for 2003 Tax Year2.8% for 1997 Tax Year 2.3% for 2004 Tax Year2.7% for 1998 Tax Year 2.3% for 2005 Tax Year1.6% for 1999 Tax Year 3.3% for 2006 Tax Year1.9% for 2000 Tax Year 3.7% for 2007 Tax Year3.2% for 2001 Tax Year 2.3% for 2008 Tax Year4.4% for 2009 Tax Year (0.3)% for 2010 Tax Year

1.7% for 2011 Tax Year

* Changes in ownership, addition or deletion of real property effects the Taxable Value in the yearof the change. SEE Table of SEV - TV values attached in this report.
