Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

The subject property is over assessed by the City of Detroit. The 2025 Taxable Value 

(TV) is $319,800.00 and the assessed value (SEV) is $319,800.00 for a True Cash 

Value (TCV) of $639,600.00 

The property is a condominium unit in a large condo 

community (Pullman Parc) with numerous comparables of identical equal size. Attached 

a few of those comparable properties with a lower SEV and TV for a similar property. 

In 

fact, properties of similar size with all the same amenities are currently listed for sale for 

$429,000.00 further suggesting the value of Ms. Hart's unit that was purchased for 

$479,595.00 in March, 2024 has deceased in value. 

We will submit evidence of 

comparable properties adjusted to support our petition and prove the property is over 

assessed.

$25.00 will be added for each additional parcel being appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000.
