Wetland-Adjacent Farmland, Then a Boom Township
The Legislative Council approved Macomb Township on March 7, 1834, and German immigrant farmers settled it through the 1830s and 40s, drawn by rich soil near the Clinton River. The terrain here has always been a mix of flat, fertile land and swampy wetland. Farms gave way to subdivisions starting in the 1980s, and growth has been rapid since -- the township's population rose from about 50,478 in 2000 to roughly 91,663 by 2020.
New Construction on Historically Damp Ground
Because so much of Macomb Township sits on formerly wetland-adjacent land, newer subdivisions built there can face higher ground moisture and a higher water table than areas that were always well-drained farmland -- worth checking rather than assuming recent construction means better-sealed.

What to Flag Before a Macomb Township Assessment
Mention whether your subdivision was built on land that was historically wetland or swampy, since that history can mean a higher water table than the surrounding area's drier farmland.
