by Webb, Kathy (MDE) 16 Jul '19

16 Jul '19

From: Webb, Kathy (MDE) Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2019 3:56 PM To: michlib-l-bounces(a)mcls.org Subject: PPT Reimbursements Website Good afternoon, Below is the website for all PPT questions. The listings of personal property tax (PPT) reimbursements are available on Treasury's PPT Reimbursement website: www.michigan.gov/pptreimbursement<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.michig…>. Please see the section Other Municipalities 2018 PPT Distribution by Payee (updated May 2019) There is a complete listing of payments made to libraries. Please search the list in alphabetical order by county. PPT reimbursements are calculated and issued to municipalities based on the millage rates that are reported to the Michigan Department of Treasury on Tax Rate Request L-4029 (Form 614). The Form 614 states that the form must be completed for each unit of government for which property tax is levied. Therefore, if a library millage is reported on the Form 614 for a city, the library millage would be included in the city's PPT reimbursement calculation. Please direct libraries to contact Treasury directly if they have any questions regarding the calculation of the PPT reimbursements. Contact Treasury at TreasORTAPPT(a)michigan.gov<mailto:TreasORTAPPT@michigan.gov> Have a great day! Kathy Webb State Aid/Penal Fines Library of Michigan P.O. Box 30007 Lansing, MI 48909 517-335-1514 Fax 517-335-1522
