Michigan House leader (R) interested in putting property tax overhaul on the ballot

Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall said Friday that controlling property tax increases could be in the fall agenda for this legislative session.

Hall (R-Richland Township) appeared on the Michigan Public Television show “Off The Record,” where he said the property tax burden on many homeowners is too high.

“We want to put something forward in the Legislature and potentially on the ballot that would help give people property tax relief,” he said in the online-only segment of the show. He said the Legislature putting a question on the ballot is a possibility.

“Once we get through this budget on September 30, then I think our next focus is going to be how do we tackle this issue, and at that time, I’ll have a good read on whether that’s something we can pull together for this election, but we’re definitely considering it,” he said.
