Michigan Compiled Laws, Chapter 41. Townships § 41.104

Sec. 104. (1) The limits and boundary lines of every organized township in existence on the effective date of the amendatory act that added this section shall remain as established until otherwise provided by law.

(2) If, as provided by law, lands owned by a township are divided into 2 or more townships, the township boards of the townships constituted by the division shall jointly meet as soon as possible after the first township meetings of the electors held in each of the townships. At the meeting, the township boards may make an agreement concerning the disposition of township lands and the apportionment of the proceeds of a sale of those lands, as they think equitable, and take measures, and execute conveyances necessary to implement the agreement.

(3) If a township's boundary is altered by annexing a part of its territory to 1 or more townships, the township board of the township from which the territory is to be taken and the township board of the township or townships to which the territory is to be annexed shall jointly meet as soon as possible after the annexation and shall possess the powers provided in subsection (2).

(4) If an agreement for the disposition of lands altered pursuant to this section is not made by the township boards within 6 months after the alteration or division, the township board of each township in which any portion of these lands are located shall proceed as soon as possible to sell and convey the part of the lands that are located within the limits of that township. The proceeds arising from this sale shall be apportioned between the several townships by the township boards of all of these townships, according to the amount of taxable property in the township divided or altered, as it existed immediately before the division or alteration, to be ascertained by the last assessment roll of the township.
