Turner 

v Wise Township 

EIVED 

Isabella County, MI. 

SEP 2 2 2026 

MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL 

in early 2025, Mr. and Mrs. Turner received a notice of assessment change on a property 

they had purchased in late 2024. The new proposed assessment was substantially more 

than the Turners had purchased the property for and Mrs. Turner appealed that amount to 

the Wise Township March Board of Review. 

At the local Board of Review, Mrs. Turner divulged the August purchase price of $80,000 

and also gave testimony regarding the condition and deficiencies of the house and grounds 

at the time of their purchase, supporting the purchase price. The local Board of Review 

chose to ignore Mrs. Turners claim and rejected her appeal. 

Mr. Turner then contacted me. 

| met with him, discussed their recent purchase and claim. 

| 

then filed an appeal with the Michigan Tax Tribunal 

The subject property is a 2744 square foot, 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath rural home situated on 

1.22 acres. 

| would consider the home a bi-level with a one story addition. There is no 

garage. The home is not a typical tri-level. Although not a foreclosure, the home was in 

‘foreclosure like’ condition, in need of extensive renovation on December 31, 2024. 

The house had extensive water damage, animal contamination, electrical concerns. Long 

term neglect had affected all levels of the house. A number of areas required demolition 

and remediation. 

The lower level had widespread water intrusion that destroyed drywall, paneling and 

insolation. Mold and mildew were an issue. The lower bath required all fixtures to be 

removed. 

All flooring on the upper level had been contaminated by animals with urine damage, 

staining and gouging throughout. The laminate floors were unsalvageable and sections of 

the subservice were compromised and need replacement. There was mold and mildew

The exterior of the property was overgrown with vegetation encroaching on the home with 

multiple trees overhanging onto the roof and gutters. 

The home is still far from habitable and will be thru this year (2026). The Turners are only 

asking that the assessed and taxable amount realistically reflect the value of the property 

when purchased and through this longer than expected restoration. The extent of water 

damage animal contamination, health and safety hazards justify a reduction to a realistic 

value. 

They request that both the Assessed and Taxable be reduced to $40,000, or $80,000 true 

cash value.
