Macomb County Tax Appeal Workshops

MARYANN KEPREOS — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:46:00 GMT

Dear Neighbor,

I just received this e-mail from my state representative, Pete Lund. Anytime I can pass on valuable information, I will. This is free and can apply to anyone living in Macomb County. Have you ever wondered about why your taxes are higher than your neighbors?? This is the workshop for you. It will help you understand how to appeal your taxes. In this down economy, everyone can use some help. Bring a friend, family or co-worker. Hope to see you there...

In order to accommodate residents, we will host four events:

Saturday, Feb. 20 from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. at the Shelby Township Municipal Office, located at 52700 Van *** Road;
Saturday, Feb. 20 from 1 to 2:45 p.m. at the Shelby Township Municipal Office, located at 52700 Van *** Road;
Monday, Feb. 22 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Washington Township Hall, located at 57900 Van *** Road; and
Monday, Feb. 22 from 7:15 to 8:45 p.m. at the Washington Township Hall, located at 57900 Van *** Road.

Property values have fallen so much in recent years that many homeowners who normally wouldn't bother to appeal their assessment actually stand a good chance of lowering their property taxes. These workshops are a great opportunity for homeowners to learn how to effectively appeal their assessment. Although we cannot guarantee your appeal will be successful, we will have experts on hand to assist you in the process.

You may also download a free, easy-to-understand instructional guide that explains how homeowners may appeal their property tax assessment by visiting www.gophouse.com/lund.htm and clicking the "Publications" link on the left.

For more information about the property tax workshop, please contact my office by calling toll free 1-888-MICH-REP (1-888-642-4737) or e-mail petelund@house.mi.gov.

Looking for something to do this Labor Day Weekend? Looking for something that is cheap and fun for the whole family? Check out the Romeo Peach Festival in downtown Romeo, Michigan. The whole weekend has plenty to do, close to home, and is a blast. Small downtown Romeo will have carnival rides, a car show, and plenty of yummy peach pie. It is a great way to re-group with the family before school on Tuesday. Wear your walking shoes. Enjoy!!

It Really Is Finished-26 Mile Bridge!!

MARYANN KEPREOS — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 18:50:00 GMT

It is always a pleasure to report when a project is completed on time. It is a greater pleasure to report when that project is completed before the due date. Today the 26 Mile Bridge and Ramp has officially opened. It has been closed for months. The bridge was not to be finished before Labor Day weekend. My many thanks to the construction workers, planners and anyone that pushed this project to be finished ahead of schedule. The northern macomb county area relies on this bridge for easy flow from east to west. It has changed everyone's daily route who lives and works in this area. Thanks again!!
