RECEIVED NOV ¢1 2024 MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Michigan Tax Tribunal Small Claims Division MTT Docket No. 24-003906 Dear Tribunal, My name is Jessica Hanna, and | am writing to clarify that I did not receive a letter of denial regarding my homestead exemption. When updating my homestead information with Almont County, the form was processed hastily and completed incorrectly. Rather than indicating the homestead exemption would apply "going forward," the form erroneously backdated it to 2022. At the time of my home purchase in 2022, my prior property served as my homestead. Tax records will confirm that I owned two other properties: the property in Sterling Heights, which became an investment property occupied by family members (and for which 1 paid non- homestead taxes), and a property in Roseville, purchased in 2021 as an investment, also with nor-homestead tax status. Almont County has confirmed that this error in backdating the homestead exemption caused the issue leading to this appeal, though they have informed me they are unable to amend the form. For this reason, I never received from Almont County a denial notice. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Respectfully, Jessica Hanna
