STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING ORLENE HAWKS DIRECTOR Michigan 48201 Taxing Authority: City of Detroit (Wayne) County: Wayne Classification of Property: Real Residential Section 4: Check which of the following you are appealing Principal Residence Exemption Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal I am formally contesting this delinquency and forfeiture notice due to both administrative error and lack of proper notice. First, I did not receive these notices in a timely or reliable manner due to repeated mailing errors by the City. The notices have consistently been delivered to incorrect units within my building, including but not limited to Unit 302, despite multiple attempts by myself to correct this issue with the City. While this issue appears to be specific to my parcel number, my mail has been repeatedly delivered to various other units within the building. The only reason I am able to submit a copy of this notice (as is requested in this petition) is because this particular notice was delivered to Unit 001 in error, where a personal contact of mine resides and was able to share it with me. This notice was not delivered to my unit. It is not the responsibility of other tenants to ensure I receive official correspondence; it is the City’s responsibility to maintain accurate address records and ensure proper delivery. As a result of these repeated errors, I was not properly notified of any alleged delinquency, which has directly impacted my ability to respond or resolve this matter. Second, the timeline referenced in this notice is factually incorrect. The notice asserts that I vacated or changed residency status in 2022, which is not accurate. I did not move out of this residence until February 2024. Therefore, any tax reassessment or homestead-related adjustments applied to 2022 and 2023 are erroneous and should be removed. Because the notice was both improperly delivered and based on incorrect residency information, I was denied a fair opportunity to address or appeal these charges earlier. I am requesting a full review and correction of the tax records to reflect my actual residency timeline, as well as appropriate relief from penalties and any improperly assessed amounts. I am prepared to provide documentation verifying my residency and timeline as needed. Thank you. Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues List the year(s) denied: 2022, 2023 Indicate who denied the exemption under appeal: Local Unit If you checked “other” above, explain: List the date the Principal Residence Exemption or Qualified Agricultural Exemption was denied: Unknown--notice not properly received Fee Information A fee of $25.00 is required for the filing of this appeal unless you possess a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% at the time of the filing of this petition.
