They are always available to answer questions and have shown great leadership and knowledge through the changes that have occurred in the assessing field over time. I highly recommend Legacy Assessing."

Millington Township in Tuscola County has been contracting with Legacy Assessing since 2008. During that time Legacy has performed their contact duties with the highest of quality and standards. They continually serve our Township with those same high standards year after year.
Sylvan Township was in need of a complete field review of it's residential properties and couldn't get the work done quickly enough with the existing part time staff. The township contracted with Legacy Assessing Services to complete the field work, apex sketches and up to date pictures. The experience was very rewarding - it was like having two extra people working in our office! Legacy was very responsive and willing to gather all the information we needed in the time we allotted and the information has proved to be accurate and complete.
We are thankful to Legacy Assessing Services and highly recommend their company for units that need that extra help to get their records in order.
