16. The 2026 assessments imposed on the subject property and the taxes to be levied and

percentage of true cash value than permissible under the Michigan Constitution and 

applicable statutes; 

(¢) The assessment is based on the misapplication of valuation principles, and 

(d) The assessment otherwise violates Petitioner’s rights. 

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests this honorable Tribunal hear this case and 

enter an order reducing the 2026 true cash, state equalized and taxable values and direct 

Respondent to refund to Petitioner any excess taxes, fees, and penalties paid, plus interest and 

costs, and all other relief to which it is entitled under Michigan law and as is appropriate under 

the circumstances.
