2023 Equalization Ratios for West Branch
Appearing below are the tentative recommended Equalization Ratios and Estimated Multipliers necessary to compute individual state equalized valuation on real and personal property for the City of West Branch by the Ogemaw County Equalization Department in accordance with the provisions of Act No. 165 of Public Acts of 1971, Act 114, Public Acts of 1979.
Proposal A, passed by voters on March 15, 1994 places a limit on the value used to compute property taxes. Starting in 1995, property taxes were calculated using taxable value. In the past, taxes have been calculated using state equalized value. State equalized value is the assessed value multiplied by the equalization multiplier, if any.
Taxable value will be the lower of the 2023 state equalized value or the 2022 taxable value multiplied by 1.05, which is the inflation rate multiplier used for the current assessment period.
