01389767 STATE OF MICHIGAN MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL KURY IVORY AND KATE IVORY MTT Docket No. Tax Parcel Id No. 12-19-15-126-005 Petitioner, vs CITY OF BLOOMFIELD HILLS, on behalf of itself and those agencies or governmental units for which it collects taxes, Respondent. ______________________________________________________________________________ ENTIRE TRIBUNAL PROPERTY TAX PETITION KURT IVORY and KATE IVORY (herein “Petitioner”), by and through its attorneys, WILLIAMS, WILLIAMS, RATTNER & PLUNKETT, P.C. (Richard E. Rassel), petition the Tax Tribunal as follows: 1. Petitioner is the fee simple owner of the real property located at 1895 Rathmor, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48304 (the “Property”). 2. The City of Bloomfield Hills (“Respondent”) is a Michigan municipal corporation, which assesses and collects taxes on the subject property. All other taxing jurisdictions are made a party hereof and have been served with this appeal. 3. The tax parcel number for the Property is 12-19-15-126-005 and the Property is classified as 401 Residential. Petitioner’s Property is presently vacant. 4. The Property is located in Oakland County and in the City of Bloomfield Hills School District (63080).

For the 2026 tax year, the Taxable Value of the Property was assessed at $918,980.00 and the State Equalized Value was assessed at $918,980.00 (See attached Exhibit A), which would translate into a True Cash Value of $1,837,960. 7. Petitioner believes the True Cash Value of the Property does not exceed $1,000,000.00 and the Taxable Value and State Equalized Value should be reduced accordingly to an amount not to exceed $500,000.00. 8. Therefore, the amount in contention is approximately $837,960.00 in True Cash Value and approximately 418,980.00 Taxable Value and State Equalized Value. The assessments do not reflect the actual True Cash Value of the Property. 9. Petitioners protested the 2026 valuations for the Property to the Troy Board of Review. The Board of Review denied any such relief. (See Attached Exhibit A). 10. Petitioners appeal the 2026 assessments for the Property to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. This is a True Cash Value, Taxable Value and State Equalized Value (or Assessed Value) appeal. WHEREFORE, Petitioners respectfully request the Tribunal enter an order reassessing the 2026 State Equalized Value and the Taxable Value of the Property to an amount not to exceed $500,000.00 and order a refund with interest and costs as provided by applicable statutory authority.
