To: Whom it may concern Date: June 4, 2026, 2026 Property Address: 66 Oakley St Battle Creek, MI Parcel ID: 8070-00-035-0 Subject: Formal Protest of 2026 Assessment – Lack of Uniformity To the Board of Review, I am writing to formally protest the 2026 assessment for my property. My 2025 property taxes were $3,928, and my current notice indicates another increase. This valuation is significantly higher than all comparable properties in my immediate area, creating a severe lack of uniformity. I have attached photos to show there have been no upgrades new windows are still needed the furnace is old, the hot water heater is old (no picture there was not a sticker on it the inspector at time of purchase indicated its about the age of the furnace). Under Michigan law, assessments must be uniform. Currently, my tax burden is nearly double that of my neighbors. Below is a comparison of my tax liability against three nearby comparable properties: Per the BS&A My Property: 66 Oakley st Battle Creek MI $3,928 Neighbor A: 64 Oakley st Battle Creek MI $2,085 year (next door) Neighbor B: 70 Oakley st Battle Creek MI $1,970 year (other side next door) Neighbor C: 71 Oakley st Battle Creek MI $ 1,861 year across the street Uniformity: There is no physical justification (such as square footage, lot size 70 Oakley has the same amount of property, or renovations) for my property to be valued thousands of dollars higher than the neighbors listed above. I added a fence when I first moved in and that was added to a previous tax year, I have only live here three years and it is becoming unaffordable due to the constant raise in taxes each year/season. Assessment Error: I believe the "Market Adjustment" applied to my property for 2026 is based on an incorrect Economic Condition Factor (ECF) that does not reflect the actual market value of my specific home. Correction Requested: I respectfully request that the Board of Review lower my Assessed Value (AV) to align with the average of my immediate neighbors, bringing my tax liability closer to the neighborhood ceiling of approximately $2,000. Thank you for your time, Angela Hagen
