Petitioner requests the following relief (attach additional page if necessary): 

| believe the assessed value of 71235 Memphis Ridge Rd., Richmond is excessive because the property is a special-purpose 

funeral home with a limited market of potential buyers. While it functions as a funeral home, the building's design is highly 

specialized and not readily adaptable to other commercial uses without substantial renovation. This functional obsolescence 

reduces its market value. The property's value should be based on the real estate itself, not the value of the operating funeral 

business, goodwill, customer relationships, equipment, or other business assets. 

20. 

List the separate and specific facts upon which Petitioner relies to support the 

relief requested (attach additional page if necessary): 

| believe the assessed value of 71235 Memphis Ridge Rd., Richmond, MI is excessive because the 

$625,000 purchase price included both the real estate and the operating funeral business, including 

goodwill, furnishings, equipment, and other business assets. Therefore, the purchase price does not 

represent the market value of the real estate alone. The property is a special-purpose funeral home 

with a limited pool of potential buyers and a highly specialized layout that is not readily adaptable to 

other commercial uses without significant renovation.
