2. The 2026 assessment, including state equalized value and taxable value, imposed on Petitioner’s Property, and the taxes to be levied and collected thereon, are invalid and unlawful for the reasons that: (a) The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, exceeds the amounts permitted by the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes; (b) The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, is at a higher percentage of true cash value than permissible under the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes; (©) The assessment, including taxable value and/or state equalized value, is based upon an erroneous determination of the true cash value of that portion of Petitioner's Property that is taxable under Michigan law and is based upon the application of wrong principles; and (d) The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, and the mode of assessment adopted by Respondent, discriminate against Petitioner and deny Petitioner its constitutional rights to uniformity, equal protection and due process of law. WHEREFORE, Petitioner moves that this Motion be granted, and Petitioner requests that the Tribunal enter an Order: (i) reducing the 2026 assessed and state equalized value from $4,526,090 to $2,340,000 ; (ii) reducing the 2026 taxable value from $3,083,526 to $2,340,000 ; (iii) requiring payment to Petitioner of the refunds attributable to such reductions, plus interest and costs; and (iv) awarding Petitioner any other relief to which it is entitled.
