Hello

area.Thanks for your consideration in helping me on this high valuation.

[Hl] Yes 

No 

Are you appealing ONLY the denial of a Poverty Exemption or Disabled Veterans Exemption? 

[J ves 

No 

If you answered yes to either or both of the above questions, you are not required to pay any filing fees. 

The filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention. 

If you are appealing more than one 

parcel, the parcel with the highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention will be used to determine your filing fee, plus 

$25.00 will be added for each additional parcel being appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000. 

If your property is residential property (see MCL 205.762) and 

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention Is: 

Filing Fee is: 

$100,000.00 and under 

$125.00 

$100,000.01 to $500,000.00 

$200.00 

$Over $500,000.00 

$300.00 

If your property is 

NOT residential property (see MCL 205.762) and 

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: 

Filing Fee is: 

$100,000.00 and under 

$250.00 

* Plus $25.00 for each additional parcel, as indicated above. 

If your property is NOT residential property and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is $100,000.01 or greater the 

appeal does not qualify for Small Claims. Therefore, an Entire Tribunal petition must be filed.
