Michigan Manufacturers Must Pay Essential Services Assessment No Later Than August 15

Soon you will receive, or you may have already received, a letter from the Michigan Department of Treasury titled “ESA – Statement/Payment Reminder.” This letter is related to your organization’s personal property tax return that was filed with the State in January or February 2021. Please be aware that this letter is legitimate and the taxes assessed will be accurate given that a personal property tax return was, in fact, timely filed on your behalf. The taxes have been assessed by your local assessor based on the cost of personal property held at your organization’s address.

When you receive the letter, please follow the steps within to log in to your MTO account and pay the amount due by August 15, 2021. If you have any questions, please contact us.
