Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal
The home was on the open market for
3 months.
| purchased the home for $300,000.
through a real estate agent. The Township assessed the value of the home at $216,500.
| then appealed this amount with the Township providing the necessary documentation to
prove that the home's assessed value is much higher than where it should be.
The Township then reduced that assessed value to $187.500., which is still much higher
than where it should be.
| am appealing this matter to the Michigan Tax Tribunal because
| disagree with the
Board of Review Decision since the property was on the open market for
3 months and
purchased on the open market therefore,
the assessed value should be at $150,000.,
which reflects the purchase price.
