Clinton Township Assessing Department > Assessing Home

Be sure you are reporting the original costs of all assets on the original year of acquisition line. For example, if you purchased a desk for $400 in 2007, it should be reported on the 2007 line of section A (furniture & fixtures) at a cost of $400. The State Tax Commission has set the depreciation multipliers for each section and each year the assets get depreciated further and further.

Don’t forget to report all written-off equipment. Even though an asset may be fully depreciated according to your accounting standards, it is still required to be reported on the personal property statement.

Personal Property Overview

All business owners in Clinton Township are required to file a Personal Property Statement by February 1st of each year. The statutory deadline in the State of Michigan is February 20th. Any business that does not file by the statutory deadline may be subject to an estimated assessment.

The statement is an annual declaration of a business’ assets as of December 31st of the prior year. The information on the statement is confidential and discussed only with the person who signed the statement, (usually the owner) or an authorized representative. Only these two individuals may receive any copies of the statement.

At the end of each year, the Assessing Department mails out blank statements to all businesses. If for some reason a business does not receive a blank statement, they should contact the Assessing Department to verify that the correct mailing address is on file. A blank form may also be downloaded from this site.
