The State of Michigan does not currently offer a property tax exemption for senior citizens. However, Senior Citizens are entitled to the Homestead Property Tax Credit.
You can claim a property tax credit if all the following apply: Your homestead is in Michigan (whether you rent or own). You were a Michigan Resident for at least 6 months of the year you are filing in. You have Total Household Resources (THR) under a specified amount adjusted annually.
You must live in the home to qualify for the tax break. Some states exempt a certain percentage of a home's value from property taxes, while other states exempt a set dollar amount. If your state uses a percentage method, the exemption will be more valuable to homeowners with more valuable homes.
Public Act 74 of 1995 provides for an exemption to be filed by mail or in person at the July or December Board of Review for the year of the claim, or the following year's July or December Board of Review. To petition the Board of Review you must submit a signed Affidavit for Homestead Exemption (form 2368).
To claim a PRE, the property owner must submit a Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) Affidavit, Form 2368, to the assessor for the city or township in which the property is located.
Michigan Department of Treasury Form 2368 (Rev. 6-99), Homestead Exemption Affidavit, is required to be filed if you wish to receive an exemption. Once you file on a residence, no additional filings are required as long as the claimant's exemption status remains unchanged.
A proof of service is, in almost all instances, required to be attached to documents that you are filing with the Court. This document is “proof” to the Court of the “service” you completed for the document you are filing.
(a) Possession of a master's degree or higher from a regionally accredited college or university. (b) Completion of a Michigan approved school administrator preparation program at least at the master's degree level, including at least 18 semester hours of graduate credit in PK-12 school administration.
Like the educational requirements, work experience that gives a leader an understanding of the entire scope of the educational model is helpful. Therefore, candidates for principal positions are often required to have previous work experience as a teacher, lead teacher, dean of students, and/or assistant principal.
Traditional: Complete a master's degree or higher in educational leadership or administration at a college or university recognized by Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or U.S. Department of Education (USDE) and an approved administrator preparation program.
