Tax Commission decisions can be taken to court
LANSING (AP) -- The Michigan Supreme Court has struck down part of a state law that prevents people from going to court to appeal decisions from the State Tax Commission.
The Supreme Court was unanimous Monday in saying the final sentence in the law violates the Michigan Constitution.
The tax commission oversees the property-tax laws and advises local assessors. It also hears disputes over how to classify property, such as commercial, agricultural or residential.
The Supreme Court ruled in a case involving companies in four counties. The justices say the state Constitution guarantees that people can go to court to challenge the final decisions of a state agency.
