Despite our best efforts to determine the tax status of
properties we insure, an issue sometimes arises post-closing when a
treasurer has retroactively assessed the amount of a Principal Residence
Exemption ("PRE") for a seller's earlier period (s) of ownership. This
practice may or may not comply with the Act in such case made and
provided, and this Alert provides a course of action to pursue when
confronted with the situation.
MCL 211.7cc (8) protects a bona fide purchaser from
being assessed amounts of such retroactive denials of PRE after taking
title. This section provides that:
However, if the property has been transferred to a
bona fide purchaser before additional taxes were billed to the
seller as a result of the denial of a claim of exemption, the taxes,
interest and penalties shall not be a lien on the property
and shall not be billed to the bona fide purchaser, and the local
tax collecting unit, if the local tax collecting unit has possession
of the tax roll, or the county treasurer, if the county has possession
of the tax roll shall notify the department of treasury of the amount
of tax due and interest through the date of that notification. The
department of treasury shall then assess the owner who claimed the
exemption under this section for the tax and interest plus penalty
accruing as a result of the denial of the claim for exemption, if any,
as for unpaid taxes provided under 1941 PA 122, MCL 205.1 to 205.31
(emphasis added).
In order to address the problem, then, you must
determine: (1) when the property was transferred to the purchaser (i.e.
the date of the deed), (2) when the additional taxes
were first billed, and 3) for what period(s) the claim of PRE is being
assessed.
If the additional taxes were billed after the
transfer of title, the treasurer should remove the additional taxes
from the tax roll and notify the Michigan Department of Treasury (and
relegating the department to pursue its collection remedies against the
seller pursuant to provisions of the Act). If, after being
presented with the provisions of Section 7cc(8), the treasurer remains
unwilling to remove the additional taxes, suggest the treasurer contact
the expert on the subject at the Michigan Department of Treasury,
currently Chris Mida, whose direct number is (517) 373-1379, or
e-mail him at:
MidaCmichigan.gov.
The departmental information is:

Treasury
Homeowner's Principal
Residence Exemption Unit

Reissue Credit
Do you know the value of turning in a prior title policy?
Some may not be aware of the fact that most of the national underwriters
have significantly reduced their reissue credit. Currently, the most
credit you will receive is about a 40% credit against the premium up to
the prior policy coverage amount. In most cases, this credit is
available only on policies issued in the last two (2) years.
Nevertheless, it is important to turn in your prior policy AT THE
TIME THE ORDER IS PLACED to receive much faster service and to
obtain the amount of credit that may be coming.

Commercial Real Estate News
On October 5,
2010, Public Act 201 of 20l0 entitled the “Commercial Real Estate
Broker’s Lien Act”, was signed into effect by the Governor. Effective
immediately, this Act creates a right to enforce a lien by a real estate
Broker against commercial property which is the subject of a written
commission agreement if recorded against the subject property prior to
the date of conveyance.
As a result of
this Act, it is necessary in a commercial sale or lease transaction for
us to include the following Schedule B requirement where we are closing
and providing title insurance:
Submit to the
Company a Release of Lien from both the seller’s and buyer’s real
estate Broker pursuant to the provisions of Public Act 201 or 2010 or
submit an Affidavit executed by the seller and buyer that they have
not employed the use of a Broker or Broker’s agent/employee in the
transaction.
The Affidavit
must indemnify and hold Huron Title Company harmless for any inaccuracy
in that representation.
