The two resulting parcels were assessed with the same per parcel rate. The back parcel per acre rate should be less than that of the parcel with M-119 frontage, as acreage without road frontage would have a lower value per acre. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: March If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Year(s) Under Appeal: 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 12-07-24-400-020 Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 92500.00
