Upon receipt, a job number is assigned and an acknowledgement letter confirming the filing date (effective date) is forwarded to each municipality. The property description is then submitted to the Michigan Department of Transportation for review and mapping purposes in accordance with 1951 PA 51. As soon as the submission is confirmed as complete and accurate, copies are provided to the appropriate state agencies to insure that each municipality receives a proper pro rata distribution of gasoline and motor vehicle weight tax revenue, intangible tax revenue, and state alcoholic liquor tax revenue. These documents are also used to insure the population figures and Act 51 maps are accurate for reporting to the federal government, and to obtain other state funds, monies or grants as they become available.
