not exceed five percent (5%) of the total taxable value of the City of Muskegon.
E. In the event it is determined that the said taxable values do exceed five percent (5%), the

property at the commencement of the rehabilitation.
M. The City Commission determines that the applicant shall have twelve (12) months to
complete the rehabilitation. It shall be completed by August 14, 2008, or one year after
the Certificate is issued, whichever occurs later.

improvements made to your property for a total special assessment cost of$ 391.68 Following are the
terms of the special assessment:
The total assessment of$ 391.68 may be paid in full any time by the due date of October 15, 2007
without interest being charged. After this date, interest will be charged at the annual rate of 5% on the
remaining balance. Assessments also may be paid over a ten-year period in ten equal principal
installments of$ 39.17 (plus accrued interest). If you pay your assessment in installments, your annual
installment (plus accrued interest) will be included as a separate item on your property tax bill each year.
Therefore, if you pay your property taxes through a mortgage escrow agent, you should notify them of this
charge. Should you wish to avoid having the annual Installment placed on the property tax bill by
making a separate payment or to pay the total balance due, please contact the Treasurer's office
at (231) 724-6720.
The total assessment may be paid in full any time prior to the due date shown above
without interest being charged. After this date, interest will be charged at the rate
shown above on the outstanding balance. Assessments also may be paid over a ten
year period in ten equal principal installments. If you pay your assessment in
installments, your annual installment (including interest) will be included as a separate
item on your property tax bill each year. Therefore, if you pay your property taxes
through a mortgage escrow agent, you should notify them of this change. Early
payments may be made at any time and are encouraged.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THE ASSESSMENT IS NOT CONFIRMED AT THE PUBLIC
HEARING YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED. IF THE ASSESSMENT IS CONFIRMED, THIS
LETTER WILL REPRESENT YOUR INITIAL BILLING IF YOU WISH TO PAY IN FULL
PRIOR TO THE DUE DATE AND AVOID INTEREST COSTS. OTHERWISE, YOU
WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE BILLED ON AN INSTALLMENT BASIS WITH THE FIRST
INSTALLMENT SHOWN ON YOUR NEXT PROPERTY TAX BILL
