Day of Review of Apportionments (Only)

Day of Review of Drainage District Boundaries and Apportionments 

A licensed professional engineer has recommended lands be added or removed from certain Drainage Districts listed below, and a general description of the lands by section number proposed to be added or deleted from the Drainage Districts is as follows:

The Drain Commissioner, engineers, and/or other staff members will be available to assist individuals throughout the day and make revisions where necessary. There is no need to schedule an appointment for a specific time on the Day of Review. Written statements may be mailed or emailed to the Drain Commissioner at the postal or email address listed above. Comments submitted in advance must be received by the Drain Commissioner before the date of the meeting to ensure consideration.

The computation of costs for the Drains and the tentative apportionments against the parcels and municipalities within the Drainage Districts will be available at the Day of Review. Drain assessments are collected in the same manner as property taxes and will appear on your winter tax bill. If drain assessments are being collected for more than one (1) year, you may pay the assessment in full with any interest to date at any time and avoid further interest charges. Comments on the apportionment of benefits may be submitted in writing before the date of the meeting to review the apportionment or may be submitted in writing or orally at the review.

Persons with disabilities needing accommodations for effective participation in the Day of Review should contact the Ingham Drain Commissioner’s Offices at the phone numbers listed above (voice) or through the Michigan Relay Center at 7-1-1 (TTY) at least 24 hours in advance of the Day of Review to request mobility, visual, hearing, or other assistance. 

You may appeal the Drain Commissioner’s decision to revise the Drainage District boundaries to the Ingham County Circuit Court within ten (10) days after the decision is entered, and you may appeal the determination of apportionments to the Ingham County Probate Court within ten (10) days after the Day of Review.
