Section 211.34a - Tabular statement of tentative equalization ratios and estimated multipliers; preparation; publication; copies, notices; effect on equalization procedures; appeal(1) The equalization director of each county shall prepare a tabular statement each year, by the several cities and townships of the county, showing the tentative recommended equalization ratios and estimated multipliers necessary to compute individual state equalized valuation of real property and of personal property. The county shall publish the tabulation in a newspaper of general circulation within the county on or before the third Monday in February each year and furnish a copy to each assessor and to each of the boards of review in the county and to the state tax commission. All notices of meetings of the boards of review shall give the tentative ratios and estimated multipliers pertaining to their jurisdiction. The tentative recommended equalization ratios and multiplying figures shall not prejudice the equalization procedures of the county board of commissioners or the state tax commission.(2) If the final equalization multiplier for only the 1986 tax year exceeds the tentative multiplier used in preparing the assessment notice and as a result of action of the state board of equalization or county board of commissioners a taxpayer's assessment as equalized is in excess of 50% of true cash value, that person may appeal directly to the tax tribunal. The appeal shall be filed under this subsection during 1986 on or before the third Monday in August and shall be heard in the same manner as other appeals of the tribunal. An appeal pursuant to this subsection shall not result in an equalized value less than the assesed value multiplied by the tentative equalization multiplier used in preparing the assessment notice.Add. 1971, Act 165, Imd.
