The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

In general, mining operations and property in Michigan are subject to the same state and local taxes applicable to other commercial ventures. However, certain mining operations are subject to specific taxes levied on the minerals, mineral-bearing land from which the minerals are mined, and/or property related to the mining operation, in lieu of other state and local taxes.
In 2012, Michigan enacted specific legislation relating to the taxation of nonferrous metallic minerals extracted from the earth in Michigan. The Nonferrous Metallic Minerals Extraction Severance Tax Act levies a "severance" tax on taxpayers that extract minerals from the earth in Michigan or that beneficiate such minerals. In general, the minerals severance tax is levied at a rate of 2.75 percent of the "taxable mineral value" computed at the time of sale or transfer of a "taxable mineral." In addition to providing targeted tax credits, this legislation also provides various tax exemptions relating to minerals, mineral mining-related property (and property involved in the beneficiation of minerals), and certain income derived from the minerals. For more information, please see the Mining Guidebook.
