Michigan § 211.35 - State tax statement; duties of state treasurer; apportionment.

The state treasurer shall make and record in his or her office a statement showing the taxes to be raised for state purposes that year, referring to the law on which each tax is based, and the total amount of the taxes. The state tax he or she shall apportion among the several counties in proportion to the valuation of the taxable property in each county as determined by the last preceding state board of equalization. Before the October session of the board of supervisors or, for a county or local tax collecting unit that approves under section 44a(2) the accelerated collection in a summer property tax levy of a millage that had been previously billed and collected as in a preceding tax year as part of the winter property tax levy, before a special meeting held before the annual levy on July 1, the state treasurer shall in each year make out and transmit to the clerk of each county a statement of the amount of the taxes apportioned to that county. The state treasurer shall also, in a separate item of the statement, set forth the amount of indebtedness of the county to the state remaining unpaid at the time the statement is made, as shown by the statement of the account between the county and this state. A county's remaining indebtedness to this state shall be apportioned by the board of supervisors of the proper county at the same time as state taxes contained in the apportionment of the state treasurer, and shall be levied in the same manner as and become a portion of the county taxes for the same year, unless the indebtedness is paid to the state before October 1, or for a county or local tax collecting unit that approves under section 44a(2) the accelerated collection in a summer property tax levy of a millage that had been previously billed and collected as in a preceding tax year as part of the winter property tax levy, before the annual levy on July 1. The portion of the taxes, if any, that should be assessed to a particular township, shall be apportioned to and assessed upon the township, ward, or city.
