            NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, May 29, 2025, the apportionments for benefits to the lands comprised within the “Grand Meadows Branch of the Cook and Thorburn Drain Special Assessment District" will be subject to review for one day from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. at the Office of the Ingham County Drain Commissioner, located at 707 Buhl Avenue, Mason, Michigan 48854, or at such time and place to which I may adjourn.  At the Day of Review, I will have the tentative apportionments against parcels and municipalities within the special assessment district available to review.

Comments submitted in advance must be received by the Drain Commissioner prior to the Day of Review to ensure consideration.

            Pursuant to Section 155 of the Michigan Drain Code of 1956, any owner of land within the Grand Meadows Branch of the Cook and Thorburn Drain Special Assessment District or any city, village, township, district or county feeling aggrieved by the apportionment of benefits made by the Drain Commissioner may appeal the apportionment within ten (10) days after the day of review of apportionments by making an application to the Ingham County Probate Court for the appointment of a Board of Review.

            Any drain assessments against land will be collected in the same manner as property taxes. If drain assessments against land are collected by installment, the landowner may pay the assessments in full with any interest to-date at any time and thereby avoid further interest charges.
