Principal Residence Exemption
The Principal Residence Status gives the property owner an exemption from school operating tax of up to 18 mills. To obtain Principal Residence status, the property must be a residential property that is
owner occupied. Michigan allows one Principal Residence exemption on the primary residence. The deadline to file is June 1st for the summer tax levy and November 1st for the winter levy. Allen Park school operating taxes are collected on the summer tax levy only.
Principal Residence exemption forms can be obtained by contacting the local assessment office or by clicking on the link to the
State of Michigan Website and downloading the form.
