Board adopts 2026 County Equalization Report, sets total equalized value at $4.74 billion
Summary
The Montcalm County Board adopted RESOLUTION 2026‑05 to accept the 2026 County Equalization Report, setting state equalized real property at $4,343,352,750 and personal property at $394,414,100 for a total of $4,737,766,850; Equalization staff described their review process and rejected a county‑controlled assessor proposal.
The Montcalm County Board of Commissioners voted April 27 to adopt the 2026 County Equalization Report and accompanying adjustment factors under RESOLUTION 2026‑05. The resolution, moved by Commissioner Petersen and supported by Commissioner Mahar, set the county’s state equalized real property at $4,343,352,750 and personal property at $394,414,100 — a combined total equalized value of $4,737,766,850 — and authorized signing of the L‑4024 report.
Nicole Flowers of the Equalization Department described the office’s review process and said staff conduct field visits to verify assessments. “Ms. Flowers stated that the Equalization Department conducts their studies and physically travel out to the properties in the county study to verify the assessments.” Commissioners discussed a suggestion to create a county‑controlled assessing department; both Flowers and Deb Ballard said they did not see merit in that change. The board approved the resolution by motion; the minutes record the action as "Motion carried."
