Fee Information 

Does the property have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition for all tax years at 

issue? 

O Yes 

No 

If you answered yes to the above question, you are not required to pay any filing fees. 

If the property does not have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition for all tax years at 

issue, the filing fee is based on the Taxable Value in dispute. 

If you are appealing more than one parcel, the parcel with the highest 

Taxable Value in dispute will be used to determine your filing fee, plus $25.00 will be added for each additional parcel being appealed, 

not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000.00. 

If the property is residential property (see MCL 205.762) and 

the Taxable Value in dispute is: 

Filing Fee is: 

$100,000.00 and under 

$125.00 

$100,000.01 to $500,000.00 

$200.00 

$Over $500,000.00 

$300.00 

If the property is NOT residential property and 

The Taxable Value in dispute is: 

Filing Fee is: 

$100,000.00 and under 

$250.00 

* Plus $25.00 for each additional parcel, as indicated above. 

If the property is 

NOT residential property and the Taxable Value in dispute is $100,000.01 or greater, the appeal does not qualify for 

Small Claims. Therefore, an Entire Tribunal petition must be filed.

Greetings Appeal Division: 

This letter serves as an appeal to the decision made by City of 

Detroit, Office of Assessor. This is a rebuttal to the decision 

letter received on December 11, 2025. 

The City of Detroit Office of Chief Finance gave no creditable 

reason for not approving our tax exemption status granted 

by the IRS. 

All pertinent documents were submitted in a 

timely manner, and supplemental information was submitted 

to support the many years our facility has been involved with 

community support in the Warrendale Community. 

The Assessor/Chief Financial Officer simply checked a box denying 

our request for tax exemption status. We would like to adamantly 

appeal this decision to deny our application. 

Our non profit resides in a neighbor in much need of a non profit 

such as ours. We assist the homeless by giving them food, socks, 

and personal hygiene items. Our non profit (God's Little School) 

offers free literacy reading tutoring to young children, and after 

school homework help.

For these reasons, we humbly ask Michigan Tax Tribunal to 

overturn The City of Detroit Office of Assessor’s decision to 

deny our tax exemption request. 

Sincerely, 

God'’s Little Schoolhouse Inc.
