The Subject Property 3. Petitioner owns property identified as Parcel No. 17-000-16530-00 and commonly known as 1002 W Broomfield St., Mt Pleasant, MI 48858 (the “Subject Property”). 4. The Subject Property is located in Isabella County and is within the Mount Pleasant Public school district. 5. Respondent possesses jurisdiction to assess and collect property taxes for the Subject Property. The 2026 Assessment 6. For the 2026 tax year, Respondent classified the Subject Property as commercial improved property. 7. For the 2026 tax year, Respondent established the Subject Property’s assessment for property taxes as follows: True Cash Value Assessed Value Taxable Value 4,048,600 2,024,300 2,024,300 8. Petitioner contends that a lawful assessment of the Subject Property for the 2026 tax year cannot exceed the following amounts: True Cash Value Assessed Value Taxable Value 2,500,000 1,250,000 1,250,000 9. The amounts in dispute therefore are as follows: True Cash Value Assessed Value Taxable Value 1,548,600 774,300 774,300 10. This Petition presents issues involving the Subject Property’s valuation for assessment purposes. Petitioner does not believe that this Petition presents any issues arising out of “additions” or “losses” as the General Property Tax Act, MCL 211.1 et seq. (the “GPTA”),

defines those terms, but reserves its right to assert issues involving losses should information supporting such issues become available. 11. The Subject Property’s 2026 assessment (a) violates the Michigan Constitution, the GPTA, and other Michigan law, (b) is based on erroneous principles and information, (c) is based on the misapplication of valuation principles, and (d) otherwise violates Petitioner’s rights. 12. Petitioner does not assert that the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment is not uniform aside from the lack of uniformity resulting from Respondent overestimating the Subject Property’s values. Conclusion and Request for Relief WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this honorable Tribunal enter judgment revising the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment to be consistent with the values set forth in Paragraph 8 of this Petition and granting Petitioner all other relief to which it is entitled under Michigan law.
