Enclosed herewith, please find the following documents: 1. 2026 Board of Review Decision (dated March 17, 2026) — Petition No. M47, Parcel 06-32-627-090, reflecting the Board's denial of Petitioner's appeal and upholding the 2026 omitted property assessment 2. 2026 Notice of Assessment, Taxable Valuation, and Property Classification (Form L-4400) — the underlying notice issued by Charter Township of Fenton, reflecting the omitted property addition for "Basement Finish Bath" and the resulting increase in taxable value. These documents constitute the notices giving rise to this appeal. Petitioner respectfully requests that the Tribunal accept this submission as a timely cure of the default and that the case proceed on the merits. Please do not hesitate to contact me if any additional information is required. Respectfully submitted, David McChesney 16179 Pine Lake Forest Dr Linden, MI 48451
