I've blogged about the unusual and quirky "Prop A" with Michigan's proerty tax system. One side effect is that often times, taxes will go up even with property values go down.

I've recently come across a DVD that's a seminar on how to appeal your assesment. I haven't seen it, but I like the organization that puts it out- Michigan Taxpayers Alliance. The DVD is $10 - you can get it here: Property Tax Assessment Workshop DVD
