We have recently added a "survey" layer to our GIS maps.  This layer is intended to show properties that have been surveyed, including recording information on where you can look at the actual survey in the Wayne County Recorders office.  

Sign up in the Assessor's Office for the Homestead Property Tax Credit, Military Property Tax Exemption, Disabled Veteran's Homestead Tax Credit and Business Property Tax Credit by July 1 of the assessment year in which the exemption if first claimed. Each of these credits/exemptions are "one-time" signings and there is no need to reapply if your property use or ownership has not changed.

It is the responsibility of each Family Farm Tax Credit applicant to file an application for the credit with the county Assessor by November 1st. No further filing is required as long as the property continues to be farmed by the designated person on the application.
