LANSING, Mich, - Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the appointment of Marcus Abood, of Lansing, to the Michigan Tax Tribunal.
The tribunal is an administrative court responsible for hearing tax appeals for several categories of Michigan taxes. Most of the tribunal's appeals involve property taxes, though it also hears business and individual tax disputes.
"Marcus’ professional experience in the appraisal and legal fields will be instrumental to the tribunal as it works to resolve tax disputes, and I thank him for his service,” Snyder said.
Abood recently served as a department analyst within the Michigan Department of Treasury and previously served on the Michigan Tax Tribunal. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Western Michigan University. Abood will represent members at large.
Abood will serve the remainder of a four-year term commencing Feb. 29, 2016 and expiring June 30, 2019. His appointment is subject to the advice and consent of the Senate.
