August 28, 2024 Michigan Tax Tribunal 811 W. Ottawa St. Lansing, Ml 48933 RE: Appeal of Personal Residence Tax Increase To Whom It May Concern: First, let me inform you that | never received a letter explaining why my personal residence taxes for Summer 2024 were being increased. When | received the property taxes from Green Township In July 2024, | was shocked atthe amount. | immediately contacted the Green Township office and was told | needed to speak with the assessor, and he is only in the office on Mondays from 8 a.m-1p.m. | asked that he contact me. | originally spoke with the deputy assessor Tom Kellogg. | explained the situation whichis | own the residence (duplex), pay the taxes, take care of all the maintenance of the residence (roofing, siding, plumbing, etc.) and that a family member (my sister) lives on the other side; itis not a rental and | do not get any rental money! Hewasn’tsure whatlwould need to do and mentioned | may have to prove she was a relative, but he would check with the assessor, and someone would get backwith me. Finally, on August 19, 2024, | was able to speak with
Page 4
was referred to the PRE Office. The gentleman told me | should | have received a letter regarding the increase (which | had never got) and I could do an appeal. He asked me to contact the assessor again. So that same day | called Mike Richmond and he stated he had not sent a letter but would regarding the increase along with the appeal process. | waited all week and got no correspondence. On August 26, 2024, | called Mike Richmond again, and he said he realizes he neglected to send me the correspondence and said he would prepare the correspondence that day and deliver it to my home by noon. As of today, August 28, 2024, | still have not received anything. | decided to contact the PRE Office directly and spoke with Ann about the situation. She was very helpful and directed me to the Michigan Tax Tribunal site to access the appeal form. I have completely owned this residence since around 2000 and my sister is the only person that has lived inthe unit. | do not feel | should be required to pay additional taxes on the property | own and do not rent out. Therefore, | am requesting an exemption that my residence be exempt. If you need any additional information or would like to speak to me, please call 231-796-7709. | look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Pride Olt Paula Olson 20661 Ross Parkway Big Rapids, MI 49307 231-796-7709
