Is Your Property Tax Assessment Worth Appealing? 

Michiganders balancing their 
mortgage bills with food and 
other increased inflation 
costs can join a free, virtual 
program on Tuesday Feb. 7 
offered by Gesher Human 
Services. 
“Is Your Property 
Tax Assessment Worth 
Appealing?” will be held 
from 1-2 p.m. on Zoom 
and will explain why it is 
important not to ignore your 
property tax assessment or 
assume the assessed value is 

accurate. 
In the City of Detroit, a 
new tool was announced in 
October 2022 to help resi-
dents understand the prop-
erty taxes on their homes 
and to help them avoid being 
over-assessed. Homeowners 
are encouraged to know if 
their assessment has risen, 
because an increase can 
result in hundreds more dol-
lars a year on mortgage bills 
and homeowners need tools 
for grounds to appeal. 

“Homeowners see the 
words ‘This is Not a Tax 
Bill’ which is stated on the 
property tax assessment and 
frequently just file the doc-
ument for taxes, and then 
it completely leaves their 
mind,” explained financial 
capability manager Laltsha 
Cunningham. 
“However, while the taxes 
are escrowed into mortgage 
payments the vast majori-
ty of the time, you are still 
going to end up paying 

more if your property tax 
assessment has increased. 
Homeowners will either need 
to find the money to pay that 
extra amount out-of-pock-
et or will be faced with an 
increased monthly mortgage 
payment which can really 
hurt their budget, especially 
with gas and food costs being 
so high right now.”
