NOTICE FOR 2011 TAX YEAR

 

TO: ALL PROPERTY OWNERS IN CASCO TOWNSHIP SUBJECT: REAPPRAISAL OF CASCO TOWNSHIP

Because Casco Township did not receive a passing score on the State Tax Commission Mini 14 Point Review, the Casco Township Board has retained Landmark Appraisal Company to do a

complete reappraisal of Casco Township. The Township is required to maintain a detailed record of all the properties located within its jurisdiction. This reappraisal will establish accurate

and uniform assessments throughout the Township. It is imperative for you to realize that the reappraisal WILL NOT increase taxes on those properties that have previously been taxed for buildings on

the property (except for the annual level of inflation required by the State Tax Commission on taxable values). If a building, addition, swimming pool, patio, deck, etc. (land improvement); or building

improvements, i.e.,finished basements, additional bathrooms, built-ins, etc. is found on the property that has not previously been on the assessment/tax roll, then that improvement will be added to the

assessments/tax roll; and that property will experience an increase in taxes because of the omitted improvement. I reiterate ... ONLY IF AN IMPROVEMENT HAS NEVER BEEN

TAXED, WILL YOUR TAXES INCREASE. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE NO TAX INCREASE DUE TO THIS REAPPRAISAL.

The representative of Landmark Appraisal Company will be visiting each property in CascoTownship to gather information regarding the various structures on the property. This

representative will be measuring each structure, gathering information regarding the interior of the buildings and photographing the properties. In order to verify the identity of this representative, you may

ask to see this letter of introduction and photo identification from Landmark Appraisal Company. The Township appreciates you cooperation, and if you have any questions, please contact me at

(586) 727-7524 or (586) 727-9853.

Sincerely,

Karen G. Holk, Supervisor
