CONDITIONAL RESCISSION APPLICATIONS FOR PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE EXEMPTION. WHAT ARE THEY?
On April 8, 2008, Governor Granholm signed House Bill 4215, which enables a person who has changed their principal residence, to retain the Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) on their prior residence for UP TO THREE YEARS provided that the residence is:
  1. FOR SALE
  2. NOT OCCUPIED
  3. NOT LEASED
  4. NOT USED FOR ANY COMMERCIAL OR BUSINESS PURPOSE

Additional Restrictions: 

  1. If you move to another residence outside of the State of Michigan, you DO NOT qualify for this exemption.
  2. If you are granted a Conditional Rescission then subsequently occupy, lease or use the home for business purposes, the exemption will be REVOKED for all applicable tax years.
