TAX ABATEMENTS


INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY, TAX ABATEMENT
Property tax incentives are available to eligible businesses to renovate or expand aging manufacturing plants or to build new plants. They can reduce property taxes (real and personal) for up to 12 years. For an obsolete plant or machinery that is being replaced or restored this results in a 100% exemption from the property tax on the value of the improvement. For a new plant, the local unit of government is able to reduce the local millage by half, and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation is able to abate the 6-mill statewide education tax.

A 1998 state law allows eligible distressed communities to abate all new personal property taxes in certain geographic areas to spur economic development. Abatements include all millage, state and local. Eligible projects include manufacturing, mining, research and development, wholesale and trade, and office operations, but not retail businesses.
