MI HB5681

Establishes withdrawal application fees of $1.00 per acre for commercial forestland, with a minimum of $200.00 and maximum of $1,000.00 per application.

Sets withdrawal penalties calculated by multiplying acreage by county valuation, average township millage rate, years enrolled (maximum 7 years), and a county-specific multiplier ranging from 0.2 to 0.8.

Exempts four categories from withdrawal fees and penalties: land donated to public bodies, land purchased by public bodies, land exchanged for public property designated as commercial forest, and land condemned for public use.

Requires the department to publish calculation details on its website, including per-county valuations, adjusted values with inflation rates, and average millage rates.

Directs withdrawal application fees to the state treasurer and requires township treasurers to distribute penalties according to the same proportions as ad valorem general property tax allocation in the township.
