Start with the notice, not an assumption
For Grand Rapids, Explain regional commuting, annual mileage, and where the vehicle is normally kept. If your normal trips extend beyond town, tell the insurer the usual mileage and purpose. Keep the address where the car is normally parked accurate. For a citation, follow the court and deadline written on the document; a city name alone does not identify the correct court.
A notice may concern insurance, a license suspension or revocation, or a court matter. Those are related but not interchangeable issues.

Published state guidance lists liability minimums of $30,000 per person, $60,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $10,000 property damage, alongside PIP and uninsured/underinsured motorist requirements.
