Due to some website error, that amended petition had failed to download. | received your Order of Dismissal dated 12/5/2024. Thus, | am re-filing just one of the original appeals, as the new Iron River Township Assessor resolved the case for parcel No. 36-004-006-005-00. Therefore, | am appealing the 3/13/24 Board of Review decision: 1. ww The Iron River Township former assessor, Laura Erhart, used an unknown or inaccurate sales study to place a valuation on my forty. Unprofessional behavior of the former assessor, Laura Erhart. See copy of my complaint. The forty-acre parcel is a swamp and is land-locked. As a comparable sales study, near by forty, in 2013 parcel no. 004-067-001-00 (400 acres) and parcel no. 004-068-002-00 (80 acres) was purchased for $150,00.
