MODERATE
This bill updates the fees county treasurers charge for providing tax records and transcripts. It clarifies specific pricing for abstracts and copies, sets a minimum fee floor of 50 cents for most requests, and significantly expands the types of electronic property data treasurers must provide for free or at a low cost. The changes aim to standardize billing practices and increase public access to essential property tax information.
Scope change
The bill applies to all county treasurers in Michigan but introduces specific exemptions for large charter counties regarding fee amounts and mandates new electronic data delivery standards.
FISCAL
Updated fee structures for tax abstracts and copies, adding specific rates for taxpayer name statements and word counts, while establishing a new minimum fee of 50 cents for most services.
REQUIREMENT
Added a new requirement for treasurers to provide specific electronic property records (such as assessed value, owner names, and tax bills) upon request, with a maximum charge of $2,000 per request.
Revised the electronic records section to mandate that data be transmitted in open, delimited formats and to explicitly list the data fields that must be included if available.
ELIGIBILITY
Adjusted the numbering and structure of subsections regarding electronic records to clarify that requests for winter and summer tax bills count as a single request for fee purposes.
