Principal Residence Exemption A PRE removes the local school operating tax from your local tax bill. On the Assessment Change Notice or even a Tax Bill, the exemption is listed as 100.00% if you are eligible or 0.00% if you are not. To qualify for a PRE on a parcel of land, a person must be a Michigan resident who owns and occupies the property as a principal residence by June 1st of the current year. The PRE is a separate program from the Homestead Property Tax Credit, which is filed annually with your Michigan Individual Income Tax Return. To claim a PRE, the property owner must submit a Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) Affidavit, Form 2368, to the Assessor for the City or Township in which the property is located on or before June 1 of the year the exemption is being claimed. The exemption information is then posted to the local property tax roll. Normally, when you purchase a home, Form 2368 and other relevant Principal Residence Exemption forms are provided by the closing agents. If you own and occupy a home as your principal residence after June 1 but by November 1, you are entitled to a PRE for the winter tax levy and subsequent tax levies. There are many variables in determining eligibility for the exemption. The Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) Guidelines book provides answers to a number of frequently asked questions.
Rescind Principal Residence Exemption When a person no longer owns or occupies the property as a principal residence, he or she must file a Request to Rescind Homeowner’s Principal Residence Exemption (PRE), Form 2602, with the Assessor for the City or Township in which the property is located to remove the PRE. The PRE will be removed from the local property tax roll by the Assessor beginning with the next tax year. Failure to Rescind a PRE may result in additional taxes, interest and penalties.
QuitClaim Deed A real property deed which transfers (conveys) only that interest in the property in which the grantor has title. Commonly used in transfers of title or interests in title, quitclaims are often made to family members, divorcing spouses, or in other transactions between people well-known to each other. Quitclaim deeds are also used to clear up questions of full title when a person has a possible but unknown interest in the property. Grant deeds and warranty deeds guarantee (warrant) that the grantor has full title to the property or the interest the deed states is being conveyed, but quitclaim deeds do not warrant good title.

Conditional Rescission Under certain circumstances a person may qualify for a Conditional Rescission which allows an owner to receive a PRE on his or her current Michigan property and on previously exempted property simultaneously for up to three years. To Initially qualify for a Conditional Rescission; the owner must submit a Conditional Rescission of Principal Residence Exemption (PRE), Form 4640 to the Assessor for the City or Township in which the property is located on or before June 1 of the year of the claim, along with the required documentation. The owner must annually submit form 4640 on or before December 31 to verify to the Assessor that the property for which the PRE is retained is not occupied, is for sale, is not leased and is not used for any business or commercial purpose.
