The role of the Assessing Department is the valuation of the 31,822 parcels located in the Township of Waterford. According to the Michigan General Property Tax Laws, P.A. 206 of 1983 as amended, we must discover and value all parcels, both real and personal, which are not exempted by law. This site contains links to the determination of a property's value, how to appeal that value at the March Board of Review, as well as other general administrative information. We hope this web site will be both instructive and informative to you, and we would appreciate any comments you may have for its improvement.
