Section 5; Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

| am writing to formally appeal the 2025 assessment for my property located at 10501 Joy Rd, Detroit, MI 

(Parcel under Lions Xpress LLC). 

According to the notice, both the assessed value and the corrected taxable value have been set at 

$382,000. This correction results in a significant increase in taxable value, which will dramatically raise my 

annual property taxes to about $28,000. 

In prior years, my annual property taxes have been around $5,000. While 

| understand that property taxes 

may increase following a transfer of ownership, the taxable value is generally much lower than the purchase 

price and is subject to limitations under Michigan law (such as Proposal A caps). Setting the taxable value 

equal to the full assessed value price is excessive and does not reflect the historic taxable value of this 

property. 

| respectfully request a review and correction of this taxable value. 

| believe the taxable value should reflect 

a reasonable adjustment from the prior year, not an immediate jump to match the assessed value. This 

sudden increase creates an unfair and disproportionate tax burden on my business. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
