09/02/2024 RE: PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE EXEMPTION DENIAL NOTICE PARCEL iD: 1208070404000, 911 TURRILL AVENUE, LAPEER, MI 48446 To Whom It May Concern: | am writing in reference to the Principal Residence Exemption Denial Notice that we have received in the mail for tax years 2021 — 2024. We have completed a Principal Residence Exemption questionnaire over the last couple of months regarding the house we purchased located at 911 Turrill Avenue in Lapeer, MI 48446. This home was an investment by my husband, Todd and myself and my mother, Karon Rossman. This home is occupied by Karon Rossman as her primary place of residence. Karon maintains the home and pays all taxes and utilities. We have received a bill from the Lapeer County Treasurer for payment of back taxes that should have been paid on the Turrill home from the time of purchase, including interest. These charges are due beacause the Turrill home was considered a Homestead for Todd White when he already claims a Homestead at our place of residence located at 2475 Tomahawk Drive, Lapeer, Mi 48446. This point is understood that only 1 principal residence can be claimed by any 1 individual. Todd's principle residence is at 2475 Tomahawk Drive and has been for going on 30 years. As stated above, the Turrill home was bought as a joint investment. Todd and | had a lump sum of money that was used in the purchase of the home along with additional monies from Karon Rossman. Karon also funded all monies needed for the complete renovation of the Turrill home and has been the only person to live there from the time the home was purchased. The sole intent in buying this home was for my mother to have a place to live when moving back to Michigan. She was involved from the beginning, even dealing with the real estate agent in picking out the home. This home is intended for my mother to live in until the day she is no longer with us. At this time, the home will be left to Todd & myself. The only reason for the deed being in Todd's name is to eliminate any issues in the future with other siblings at the time of my mothers death. This was intended to protect our investment in the future and avoid any possible issues with the family. The intent was not to provide any type of false information or get any financial gain from this decision. | am not in agreement on how the Turrill home has been categorized in this way for over 3 years and it is just now being brought to our attention owing back taxes plus interest. We thought we were handling everything properly and saw no future repercussions. We did recently attempt to add Karon to the deed of the Turrill home to correct this issue. It would not be allowed at this time with the outstanding back taxes showing due. We would like know what can be done to amend the deed and correct these charges for the Principal Residence Exemption. Although Todd was given the Exemption in error, this home has been a primary residence for Karon and the Exemption would have been granted to her in the same way it was to Todd.
