Overview of the NEW and CONTINUING Assessing Requirements


For your convenience, the chart below will provide a broad overview of the new and continuing minimum assessing requirements.


If you are unaware of when your local unit of government is scheduled to be audited by the STC, click on the links above to view a schedule through 2022.


The State Tax Commission (“STC”), the agency responsible for ensuring substantial compliance with the requirements of the General Property Tax Act, has set new standards when conducting an audit of minimum assessing requirements (“AMAR”). All local units of government should make themselves aware of these new requirements, as a failure to meet one or more of them may result in repercussions.

Although your local unit of government may not be scheduled for an immediate audit, we recommend ensuring compliance with the new requirements.

It is important to clarify that all the minimum assessing requirements are based upon pre-existing statutes or STC rules, policies, bulletins, and publications. Thus, local units of government may already have existing policies and resolutions set in place. These requirements are only “new” in so much as the STC is only now reviewing them when conducting an audit.
