Intended Audience: Municipalities that receive Personal Property Tax (PPT) Reimbursements from the Local Community Stabilization Authority.
The Michigan Department of Treasury (Treasury) reminds municipalities that, although not required, they can correct errors in the 2023 Personal Property Tax (PPT) reimbursements distributed in October 2023 and February 2024.
The Local Community Stabilization Authority (LCSA) Act provides municipalities an opportunity to review the PPT reimbursement calculations and data used in the calculations to ensure accurate PPT reimbursement distributions. To determine if an error has occurred in the PPT reimbursement calculations or data used, the municipality must review the applicable reports on Treasury’s 2023 Personal Property Tax (PPT) Reimbursements website.
Links to the 2023 PPT reimbursement calculations and most common data used:
When NO Errors Are Identified:
If a municipality does not identify an error, the municipality does not need to file a form or take any further action to notify Treasury.
When Errors ARE Identified:
If a municipality does identify an error, the municipality will need to complete the appropriate correction form to notify Treasury of the error(s). In addition to the correction form(s), municipalities must provide substantiating documentation to support a correction. The correction forms (along with the associated deadlines) are available on Treasury's Forms for Calculation of PPT Reimbursements website.
