REPLACE, DON'T ERASE Michigan's Personal Property Tax!

And guarantee the revenues for local services and local communities so the Legislature can't raid the funds for the state budget. map

WHAT is REPLACE DON’T ERASE?

A call to action to the state Legislature to fully replace the personal property tax with revenues that would continue to go to local communities for essential local services. The replacement funds must be guaranteed for local services so future Legislatures can’t raid them for the state budget. Anything short of fully replacing the funds with guaranteed revenues will almost certainly lead to future raids by the Legislature and higher taxes on local homeowners who would have to pay more in property taxes for local services.
