If an existing parcel is subject to a special assessment, what happens to the special assessment if the parcel is split?
When a parcel with an existing special assessment is split, the Michigan Land Division Act authorizes a township assessor to apportion unpaid assessments between the newly created parcels under Section 53 of the Michigan General Property Tax Act.
