The Clare County Board of Supervisors pushed toward uniform equalization of all property assessments. They found residential city values were undervalued by about 10.3 percent and personal property, especially Industrial and Business classes, lagged far behind. Industrial valuations need a 41.8 percent lift to align with the general ratio, and business personal property lags by more than 25 percent. A property owner personal property statement will be mailed to obtain declared values, guiding further adjustments.
