David owned a home in Lansing, Michigan for 12 years and claimed the Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) the entire time. He has now sold the property and moved to a new home. What action must David take regarding the PRE on his former property?

Correct Answer

B) David must file a PRE rescission form with the local assessor of his former property

When a Michigan homeowner sells their property or moves out and no longer uses it as their principal residence, they must file a PRE rescission form (Form 2602) with the local assessor of the former property. This rescission is required to remove the exemption from the property, ensuring the new owner (who may not qualify) is properly assessed. Failure to file the rescission can result in back taxes and penalties.

Answer Options
A
David must notify the state tax tribunal that he has moved from the property
B
David must file a PRE rescission form with the local assessor of his former property
C
David must file a new PRE affidavit on his former property within 90 days of moving
D
No action is required because the PRE automatically terminates upon sale of the property
