The Assessing Department has the responsibility of appraising all real and personal property located within the city. The department conducts the March Board of Review for the purpose of allowing the taxpayers of Tawas City to protest the coming year's proposed assessments. The department operates under the provisions of the General Property Tax Act of 1896, as amended along with any applicable local charter provisions. The department is responsible for land splits and combinations, property transfer affidavits, homestead exemption affidavits, and name and mailing address changes.

The Assessing Department provides information for the public by maintaining subdivision plat maps and property record cards for each parcel of land. The department reviews and updates records yearly to reflect changes that occur to the individual properties.
