STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS MARLON I. BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply) 4 True Cash and Taxable Value [J Poverty Exemption [1 Taxable Value Only (calculation) [7] Disabled Veterans Exemption =? Uncapping of Taxable Value [3 Eligible Manufacturing Personal Property (ESA) [ Exemption from Taxation (other than the denial of a [J Classification Principal Residence or Qualified Agricultural Exemption) 59 Sand Bar vs. the other properties. Originally when the home was purchased the taxes were $6,500 for the year. The —- previous owner was an investor and from what | was told investors pay higher taxes. We were under the assumption that the property taxes would go down once a resident owned it. To our surprise the property taxes did the opposite, They went from $6,500 with an investor to $25,000 with an owner occupied. This drastic increase in property taxes does not make the property competitive, We have to be competitive in the neighborhood. The home located at 59 Sand Bar is the smallest home in the neighborhood, but the the taxes far exceed the other homes that are extremely bigger in size. The property taxes for 51 Sand Bar are $700 The Property taxes for 82 Sand Bar are $2,000 The property taxes for 58 Sand Bar are $1900 The property taxes for 162 Sand Bar are $1600 The property taxes for 74 Sand Bar are 8,000 The property taxes for 59 Sand Bar are $25,000 The city assessor sald that when we purchased the home, it became uncapped. Why wasn't it uncapped when the investment firm purchased it? Also, per state TAX commission bulletin, NO.19 of 1997, the accessor may not automatically set an assessed value ora taxable value at half of a property’s selling price. Due to the new home purchase the property taxes have quadrupled and the SEV followed the sell which is illegal. The home Is not competitive, and the property taxes are higher for this home than the property taxes that was listed for $2M. We cannot afford to keep this property and live in Detroit paying $25,000, The sq footage documented with the city is _ incorrect and is much higher than itis. Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues Year(s) you are appealing: Did you protest the Assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)? | Yes JNo If Yos, check which BOR you attended AND attach the BOR decision: [] March [J wuty [1 December if No, check the applicable reason(s): Not required to attend Assessment Change Notice was not received by Petitioner [| Appealing a purported Clericat Error or Mutua) Mistake of Fact (if yes, include explanation in Section 5) Appealing within 36 days of State Tax Commission Order
