Notice is Further Hereby Given, that a Day of Review for the “Peters Drain” will be held on Tuesday, November 14, 2017, from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM in the office of the Monroe County Drain Commissioner located at 1005 South Raisinville Road, Monroe, MI 48161. At the above stated Day of Review, the Drain Commissioner will have available to review the tentative apportionments [amount(s) to be paid by parcel owners and/or municipalities]against parcels and municipalities within the drainage district. Apportionments against land and municipalities will be collected in the same manner as property taxes. Any apportionments against lands and municipalities that are collected by installments, may be paid in full with any interest to date at the time and thereby avoid further interest charges. The Day of Review will be held to finalize apportionment amounts [the amount you will pay]and receive complaints on assessments to properties within said county drainage districts. At the Day of Review, the computation of costs for said Drain will also be open for inspection by any interested parties. Any owner of land within the drainage district feeling aggrieved by the apportionment of benefits made by the Drain Commissioner may appeal the apportionment within ten (10) days after the Day of Review by making an application to the Monroe County Probate Court of the appointment of a board of review.
