Defending Local Governments in Tax Assessment Appeals Throughout Michigan

Since 2014, the Michigan Tax Tribunal has applied the "dark store" method for valuing property tax assessments for big box stores. This has resulted in a significant loss of tax revenue to municipalities and other local government entities. Local government officials are now concerned that other commercial property owners will use this approach to reduce their tax liability.

If your local government entity is facing the potential loss of tax revenue due to tax assessment appeals, contact the experienced Michigan tax assessment defense attorneys at Bauckham Thall today. Based in Portage, our lawyers defend municipalities, townships, and other local government entities in tax appeals throughout the Michigan.
