Your tax bill is determined by two factors: the taxable value of your home and the tax rate set by the City of Hudsonville, Ottawa County, and Hudsonville Public Schools. You can use a tax estimator to calculate your tax bill.

You can first check our website by searching for your property HERE. If the correct information is not reflected online, please call the Assessing Department at 616.669.0200 x 443 to verify that the paperwork was received.

Recent sales information is not always filed with our office by the time tax bills are printed and mailed.  Please forward the bill to the new owner or notify our office so we can ensure the new owner receives it.

Taxes are due two times a year. This year, summer taxes are mailed July 1, and due August 15.  Winter taxes are mailed December 1, and due February 14. These dates may vary slightly from year to year.  Qualifying homeowners may sign a deferral form at City Hall to defer payment of summer taxes until February 14 of the next year.

Recent sales information is not always filed with our office by the time tax bills are printed and mailed.  A new bill can be printed if you call, e-mail us, or stop by the office.

If a property owner believes that the value assessed to his or her property is unfair or inaccurate, he or she may take the following steps, in this order:

1. Review the property record (https://is.bsasoftware.com/BSA.IS/default.aspx) for accuracy.  If the information is inaccurate, notify the Finance Department so that they can stop by and correct the information.
2. Check sale prices of similar homes in the area.
3. Provide evidence to the assessor that the property is overvalued.
4. Make an appeal to the March Board of Review.

The Michigan State Tax Commission recommends that we visit each property once every six years to ensure that our property records are accurate.  Our strategy is to visit one or two neighborhoods each summer to verify the information we have for your property (such as building size and quality, decks, outbuildings, etc.)
