STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING ORLENE HAWKS DIRECTOR Detroit Michigan 48215 Taxing Authority (City or Township) City of Detroit (Wayne) County Wayne Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply) Poverty Exemption Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal I am writing to appeal the denial of my property tax exemption application, which was rejected on the basis that “documentation does not support claim.” I respectfully request a full reconsideration of my application, as I submitted all required documentation and complied with every request made by the BOR throughout the process. Over the course of the review period, BOR staff repeatedly instructed me to email the necessary documents, and I did so promptly each time. At no point was I informed that any documents were missing, incomplete, or insufficient. Had I been notified of any deficiency, I would have immediately provided clarification or additional evidence. Because the denial cites a lack of supporting documentation without specifying what was allegedly missing, I am requesting: 1. A detailed explanation of which specific documents were deemed insufficient, and 2. An opportunity to submit any additional materials needed to complete the review. I remain fully committed to complying with all requirements and ensuring that my application is properly supported. I respectfully ask that my application be reconsidered based on the documentation already provided, or that I be given clear guidance on any remaining items needed to complete the file. Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues Year(s) you are appealing: 2025 Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)? If Yes, check which BOR you attended AND upload the BOR decision: If No, check the applicable reason(s): Did you request a Poverty Exemption at the BOR? Yes If Yes, check which BOR considered your application AND upload the BOR decision: December March July December If No, explain why: Section 7: Valuation Information *Use the multiple parcel form for additional, contiguous parcels.

Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here. This is your contention of Assessed Value (also known as State Equalized Value). If you believe the Taxable Value differs from your contention of Assessed Value, enter your contention of Taxable Value. Section 8: Classification Information *Only the MI Dep’t of Treasury may appeal this issue to the Tribunal* Parcel Identification Number: Current Classification of Property as established by Board of Review: What do you believe is the property’s classification? If improved property, how is the property currently being used? If improved property, for what use was the property designed? Fee Information Does the subject property have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition? No Are you appealing ONLY the denial of a Poverty Exemption? Yes If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, you are not required to pay any filing fees. The filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention. If you are appealing more than one parcel, the parcel with the highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention will be used to determine your filing fee, plus $25.00 will be added for each additional parcel being appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000. If your property is residential property (see MCL 205.762) and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: Filing Fee is: $100,000.00 and under $125.00 $100,000.01 to $500,000.00 $200.00 $Over $500,000.00 $300.00 If your property is NOT residential property (see MCL 205.762) and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: Filing Fee is: $100,000.00 and under $250.00 * Plus $25.00 for each additional parcel, as indicated above. If your property is NOT residential property and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is $100,000.01 or greater the appeal does not qualify for Small Claims.
