The Michigan Equalization System
The State Tax Commission is authorized by Article 9, Section 3 of the Constitution of Michigan to determine and establish the uniform valuation of real and personal property through the system of equalization. Equalization is completed in a three-part process; local, county and state. The State Tax Commission’s current system for counties to complete their annual equalization is through the e-Equalization System. However, the State Tax Commission is in the process of developing a new integrated web based equalization system titled the Michigan Equalization Gateway (MEG). Questions regarding the equalization process can be submitted to equalization@michigan.gov.
