5. The subject property was not required to be protested before the March Board of Review. 6. Respondent, City of Tecumseh levies and collects the property taxes on the subject property. 7. In 2026, Respondent’s Board of Review established the following values for the subject property: True Cash Value Assessed Value Taxable Value 5,300,400 2,650,200 2,638,746 8. Petitioner contends the following are the proper values for the subject property: True Cash Value State Equalized Value Taxable Value 3,000,000 1,500,000 1,500,000 9. The values in dispute for the subject property are: True Cash Value State Equalized Value Taxable Value 2,300,400 1,150,200 1,138,746 10. This matter involves issues relating to: (a) true cash value, (b) taxable value, and (c) uniformity. 11. The assessment, including state equalized taxable values, imposed on the subject property and the taxes levied are unlawful and operate as a fraud upon Petitioners for the reasons that: a. The assessed, state equalized and taxable values exceed the amounts permitted by the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes.

d. The assessed, state equalized and taxable values are based on an erroneous determination of the true cash value of the subject property, and are based upon the application of wrong principles. Wherefore, Petitioner request that the Tax Tribunal enter an order reducing the true cash, assessed, state equalized, and taxable values of the subject property as Petitioner contends above, and order a refund with interest as provided by the Tax Tribunal Act.
