National Media Turn To Ted Seitz for Commentary on SCOTUS Case Affecting Property Tax Laws

Ted Seitz provided insights for national media outlets regarding a U.S. Supreme Court case Tyler v. Hennepin County, a case in which Seitz and other Dykema attorneys submitted an amicus curiae brief on behalf of the Michigan Association of Counties (MAC) and the Michigan Association of County Treasurers (MACT). In the articles, Seitz points out that the issues raised in the case have the potential to upend many states’ property tax frameworks that fund the local government services people depend on, including housing, public safety, and community investment." He further illustrates that the State of Michigan has already addressed the issue of home equity in foreclosure actions in its own state Supreme Court and legislature, highlighting that "according to its state constitution and laws—there is no need for federal intervention.”
