Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

The 2025 values imposed on Petitioner's property, and the taxes to be levied and 

collected thereon, are invalid and unlawful and operate as fraud upon the taxpayer 

for the reasons that: 

(a)The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values exceed the amounts permitted 

by the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes; 

(b)The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values are at higher percentages of 

true cash value than permissible under the Michigan Constitution and applicable 

statutes; 

(c)The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values are based upon an erroneous 

determination of the true cash value of that portion of Petitioner's property that is 

taxable under Michigan law and are based upon the application of wrong principles; and 

(d)The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values, and the mode of assessment 

adopted by Respondent, discriminate against Petitioner and deny Petitioner its 

constitutional rights of uniformity, equal protection and due process of law.
