Where do I get information about Property Transfer Affidavits?

Property Transfer Affidavit

Property Transfer Affidavits are also available at the Assessor’s Office. This affidavit is required to be filed whenever real estate is transferred (even if you do not record a land contact or deed). The Affidavit shall be filed with the Assessor’s Office within 45 days of the transfer. If it is not filed on time, the property owner is subject to a penalty.

The assessor reviews this form to ensure the property is assessed properly and given the correct taxable value for the year following the transfer of property.

Where can I get a survey of my property?

You should have a copy of your survey in your closing package from your home purchase. The Township does not have a survey of your property. You can obtain one by hiring a surveyor. They are listed in the Yellow Pages of the telephone book.

What is assessed value and state equalized value and why does the Assessor still have to determine assessed value if it isn't used for the tax bill anymore?

The calculation of Assessed Value is required by law and it should approximate 50% of true cash (market) value. Equalization refers to the process that makes sure that all local units of government and all counties are assessing at 50% of true cash value. The assessed value will be referred to State Equalized Value after this process.
