Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal 

The basis of petitioner's appeal to the Michigan Tax Tribunal is that they disagree with 

the uncapping of the 2024 Taxable Value; however, the value increase was not due to 

an uncapping. The 2024 Taxable Value was calculated from the previous year's value, 

plus the inflation of 5 percent, plus Additions from new construction that exceeded 

allowable repairs and maintenance outlined in MCL 2.11.27(2) (Mathieu Gas Act).
