Remember, many taxes are because of ballot initiatives and are “voted in”. The only way to remove them from your taxes is to vote them down during the next election. No Township can exempt or override the voice of voters. As always, if you have questions on how your taxes are assessed, you can make an appointment with the Ross Township Assessor or Treasurer for assistance. Simply call 269-731-4888 Monday through Thursday, 9am to 4:30pm.
