District.
5. That the Township Board will meet at the Orion Township Hall, 2323 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion,
Michigan, 48360, on Monday, July 17, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. to hear and consider any objections to
the improvement and to said Special Assessment District.
6. If the Township Board approves the improvement, a special assessment may be levied against
properties that benefit from the improvement. Act 186 of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1973, as
amended, provides that the special assessment must be protested at the hearing held for the
purpose of confirming the special assessment roll before the Michigan Tax Tribunal may acquire
jurisdiction of any dispute involving the special assessment. The hearing for the purpose of
confirming the special assessment will be held, if at all, at some time in the future pursuant to
notice given as required by law. Appearance and protest in
writing at such hearing is required in order to appeal the
amount of the special assessment to the Michigan Tax
Tribunal. An owner of or party in interest in property to be
assessed, or his or her agent, may appear in person to
protest the special assessment, or may protest the special
assessment by letter filed with the Township Clerk at or prior
to the time of the hearing, in which case appearance is not
required. Any objection must be in writing, regardless of
whether or not you appear at the public hearing.
