Section 4: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

Deadline missed due to work schedule not lining up with inconsistent township office 

hours. 

| work out of state year round and the days 

| was home the township office was 

closed either because of a holiday or closed early on Fridays at noon. My disability 

status of 100% total and permanent does not expire and 

| ask that the property tax 

exemption be honored per MCL 211.7b for year 2025. This missed deadline has put my 

family and property into a financial hardship and has put me in a position where 

{ will not 

be able to maintain the property with the incurred cost of 2025 tax included in my escrow 

account. The new law "Beginning January 1st, 2026, a disabled veteran exemption that 

is in place will not have to be renewed annually. it will remain in place until rescinded or 

denied by the assessor.” [eft room for confusion as it did not read like 2025 exemption 

was required to be filed although earlier in the year 

| did try many times to file my letter 

with the township. 

Section 5: Jurisdictional Issues 

Did you request a disabled veteran's exemption by filing an application with the city/township? 

Yes 

L[INo 

if No, please explain: 

List the date the exemption was denied: 

Tax year(s} denied: 

1/06/2026 

2025 

Fee Information 

There is no fee required for the filing of a disabled veteran's exemption appeal.
