0 Yes 

0 

No 

Are you appealing ONLY the denial of a Poverly Exemption or Disabled Veterans Exemption? 

[J Yes 

™no 

If you answered yes to either or both of the above questions, you are not required to pay any filing fees. 

The filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention, 

if you are appealing more than one 

parcel, the parcel with the highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention will be used to determine your filing fee, plus 

$26.00 will be added for each additional parcel being appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000. 

If your property is residential property {see MCL 205.762) and 

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: 

Filing Fee is: 

$100,000.00 and under 

$125.00 

$100,000.01 to $500,000.00 

$200.00 

$Over $500,000.00 

$300.00 

If your property is NOT residential property (see MCL 206.762) and 

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: 

Filing Fee is: 

$100,000.00 and under 

$250.00 

* Plus $25.00 for each additional parcel, as indicated above. 

If your property Is 

NOT residential property and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is $100,000.01 or greater the 

appeal does not qualify for Small Claims. Therefore, an Entire Tribunal petition must be filed.

To whom it may concern 

I have been a resident at 4261 Buena Vista for over 20 years at this address with my partner who 

passed away during the COVID pandemic. The deed to the property was recently transferred over 

to me during the probate closure. This was not a sell, however 

the taxes for my house have more 

than tripled. [believe 

| have been unfairly assessed for the area. 

| am still the primary resident of 

this property. There has been no change in value, and 

| would like to have my taxes reassess to the 

value that is affordable to that 

| can continue to live and maintain my home.
