Property tax: exemptions; exemption of real and personal property owned and occupied by a nonprofit corporation; modify. Amends sec. 7o of 1893 PA 206 (MCL 211.7o).
HB 5572 modifies Michigan's property tax exemption rules to expand eligibility for certain nonprofits. It adds a new exemption for conservation organizations maintaining nature areas open to the public for activities like hiking and bird watching. The bill also clarifies that nonprofits providing healthcare services (such as nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, or adult foster care) qualify for tax exemptions if they meet specific licensing requirements. This change directly affects nonprofit hospitals, educational institutions, conservation groups, and healthcare providers seeking property tax relief.
