What notice requirements apply to special assessments?
There are various statutes that allow townships to fund improvements (e.g., road projects, fire protection services, among others) by special assessments to properties. These statutes often require public hearings to consider a special assessment roll. One thing that can be confusing is what notice requirements apply to special assessment projects. The reason for the confusion is some special assessment statutes do not clearly cite Act 162 of 1962, which mandates certain notice for any municipal special assessment public hearing. Accordingly, if your township is considering imposing a special assessment, it should be aware of meeting the notice requirements in Act 162 in addition to the underlying statute authorizing the assessment.
