- Landlords so be sure to schedual reinspection for renew certificates well in advance to take advantage of the 40 month certificate. To find out when a certificate expires click this link Property Tax then select city of kalamazoo, then click rental property.
- New fee schedule see the newsletter for details but something I personally got burned on. . . what happened to the warning letters. In the past if a resident didnt mow the grass I recived a warning letter, called them and made them mow. Just recently the waring letter had a fee associated with it, basically no more warnings! They send a letter you pay a fine, ouch!
- I found it interesting that they note Lead Paint, scary. . . . more info at www.michigan.gov/leadsafe
