CITY OF UTICA
7550 AUBURN ROAD
UTICA, MICHIGAN 48317
Office Hours:
8:30am to 4:30pm
Monday through Friday
The Administration Office for the City of Utica
consists of the City Clerk's Office,
the Treasurer's Office, the Assessor's Office and the Building Department.
We
call them offices but in reality it is really a 6-ft. square cubicle
with a lot of energy.
The City Clerk's office is a small but hard working office. Four
employees are assigned to the City Clerk's supervision. The duties
handled by
these four people are: City Council meetings preparations and minutes,
public
notices for City Council meetings and the publication of the minutes
from the meetings, the ordinances, the roster preparations for all
city employees and commission volunteers, all insurance benefits
and payments for the employees,
as well as the pension payments, all payroll records and preparation
of paychecks, W-2's, various local licenses. We also take in all
complaints and process them to the proper department.
 Our
office handles all elections and related election matters,
including the absentee voter applications and absentee ballots.
Water bills and accounts receivables are issued and recorded by
our office.
We also work behind the scenes for the Art's & Craft
Fair and the Taste of the Community fundraisers for the
Parks and Recreation Commission.
Basically, if you have a question or a problem,
you can call us
and we will try to help.
 The
Administration Office also includes the Treasurer/Finance Director
and the Deputy Treasurer. These two are responsible for all the
treasury related items, such as taxes - both sending and collecting,
banking
related duties, payment of bills for all departments of the City
and all
aspects of the city's finances. The Treasurer/Finance Director is
also
currently keeping Riverside 175, our senior citizen apartment building,
in good shape and at full occupancy.
We have two part-time officials in the Administration
Office: the Assessor
and the Building Inspector. The Assessor is the person who must
follow the state
law and prepare the assessment for every piece of land in the City.
It is from these assessments that the tax bills are calculated.
The Board
of Review is convened annually for property owners to discuss their
assessment
and the resident's need for a change.
The Building Inspector is the person who approves all building permit
applications and follows up with the required inspections, answers
questions regarding the Zoning Ordinance and building requirements.
The Building
Inspector not only issues the building permits but he also is the
code enforcement official and issues citations when the ordinances
or
codes are not followed.
