Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

We recieved this new property assessment in January 2024. The Township is claiming 

that our home is valued at $414,800. We purchased this home with appraisal in 

January 2023 for $360,000. The homes that have sold in this neighborhood with a 

similar size are all selling for between $350,000 and $370,000. A home the next street 

over with 1000 more square feet and a walkout basement sold for $407,000 last 

month-two months after the new assessment. There are no homes in this 

neighborhood with our square footage selling for what we have been assessed. 

| 

supplied the Board of Review examples of 5 homes in our neighborhood that have sold 

in the last year in that were in that $350,000-$370,000 range plus our own detailed 

appraisal from our home sale, yet the Board of Review stated there was "no supporting 

data”. 

| beleive that the Township has overreached and is trying to take advantage of 

this property being uncapped.
