Michigan House Approves Bills to Eliminate PPO Service Fees

Lansing, MI, September 22, 2026 —

LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan House of Representatives has advanced legislation aimed at eliminating service fees associated with Personal Property Office (PPO) assessments.

The approved bills seek to remove these fees, which are levied on businesses for the evaluation and reporting of their personal property. Details regarding the specific amounts of these fees, the entities that collect them, or the exact timeline for their potential elimination were not provided in the legislative action.

The purpose of the legislation is to reduce the financial burden on businesses operating within the state. Personal property, for tax purposes, typically includes items such as furniture, fixtures, and machinery that are not permanently affixed to real estate.

The bills now move forward for further consideration. The exact impact on state and local government revenue, as well as the potential relief for businesses, will depend on the final legislative outcome and any subsequent amendments or approvals required. Information on potential opposition or support from specific industry groups or government bodies was not immediately available.

The contractor’s name involved in the service, if applicable, was not provided. The outcome of any inspections or specific code violations related to these fees were also not detailed. Consequently, the contractor’s response or any subsequent actions taken by the state or the affected parties are not yet known.

The legislative process requires these bills to pass through additional stages, including review and potential votes in the Michigan Senate, before they can be sent to the governor for approval. The timeline for these next steps has not been established.
