Summary of Valuation



The Subject Property & Comparable Sale #1 are the Only vacant property sales in the Forest Lakes in the Last 24 months



The strongest evidence of the subject property’s True Cash Value is its own recent, verified, arm’s-length sale of the Subject Property

of $425,000.



The Subject Property was exposed to the open market for approximately 77 days, by a highly experienced agent who specializes in

Land sales in Traverse City area .



The real estate agent initially listed the Subject Property at $495,000 and ultimately sold for $425,000. Indicating that there were no

market rate offers and thus the real estate professional and seller accepted the highest and best offer of $425,000.



This accepted price after a professional marketing period indicated market value of the property.



The listing was initially listed in June of 2025 or $495,000 and sold for $425,000 in September of 2025.



There is no evidence that the sale was distressed, non-market, or influenced by special financing or atypical motivations.



In addition, the only other verified vacant waterfront sale on within the Forest Lakes chain of lakes “Comparable #1” supports the

conclusion that the subject property’s sale reflects market value after accounting for differences in functional utility.



The Michigan Tax Tribunal has recognized that a recent purchase price may constitute the “most reliable indicator” of a property’s

True Cash Value when supported by the evidence.

Petitioner's Adjustment Analysis



The Township's assessment appears to assume that all waterfront parcels having similar shoreline characteristics contribute equal

residential utility.



The market evidence indicates otherwise.



The subject property and the Chandler Road comparable are located within the same Forest Lakes chain and represent the only

recent vacant waterfront sales identified by Petitioner within that market.



The Subject Property & Comparable Sale #1 are the Only vacant property sales in the Forest Lakes in the Last 24 months adjusted

40% for the additional 40% approximation for additional lake buildable area.

 3. PROTEST OF CLASSIFICATION

 Complete this section for a request to change the classification. The Board of Review must make their decision regarding classification in accordance

 with Section 211.34c of the Michigan Compiled Laws. The Board of Review shall not be influenced by the effect that a particular classification has on

 that property’s status as a homeowner’s principal residence or qualified agricultural property.)

 4. PROTEST OF EXEMPTION FOR QUALIFIED AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY

 If the assessor has denied or changed the percentage of the exemption from the 18 mills of local school operating tax for qualified agricultural proper-

 ty, the owner may appeal this action to the March Board of Review. THE BOARD OF REVIEW HAS NO AUTHORITY TO CONSIDER OR ACT UPON

 THE EXEMPTION FROM THE 18 SCHOOL OPERATING MILLS FOR HOMEOWNER’S PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE PROPERTIES.)



 Percent qualified agricultural exemption granted by assessor (Enter 0 if exemption Percent qualified agricultural exemption requested by owner (Enter 100 if full

 denied) exemption requested)



 REASON FOR PROTEST

 State reason(s) for protest of assessed value and/or the tentative taxable value and/or taxable status and/or classification and/or qualified agricultural property exemption

 The property was purchased in Sept 2024 in an arm’s-length market transaction for $425,000 after extended

 exposure on the open market. The current SEV of $577,200 implies a market value of approximately $1,154,400,

 which is inconsistent with the recent verified purchase price. Property shape contains large narrow triangular portion

 effectively unusable due to a 50-foot lake setback, a 35-foot rear roadway easement required by deed restrictions.

 Zillow published appreciation for the 2025 yr =1.6%. Thus the best appx of market value=$425,000x(1.016)=$431,800
