Here's the Proof...

 

Michigan Mathieu-Gast Home Improvement Act

 

Your home is probably your largest single
investment, and is well worth looking after.

But many people are reluctant to make improvements because of the fear of raising the property taxes.

Did you know that you can make improvements that enhance the value of your home, prolong its life and adapt it to new uses without the added cost of higher taxes? Like all homeowners, you want to keep your home in top shape and make it an even better place to live.

Here is a list of the home repairs and improvements cannot be considered for assessment purposes while you own your home

Home improvements – maintaining, remodeling and redecorating your home – are a good investment of your hard-earned dollars that produces both a better and safer place for you and your family to live as well as increases your property’s value.


And while home improvements increase the value of your property, they won’t increase your property taxes.

 

Michigan’s Mathieu-Gast home Improvement Act guarantees that the cost of normal repairs and maintenance on your home cannot be considered by an assessor in determining the true cash value of property until the property is sold.

 

This means that your property taxes don’t rise with every home improvement.
