Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply)

True Cash and Taxable Value, Taxable Value Only (calculation)

 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

I am appealing the property tax assessment on the grounds that the Taxable Value and annual tax amount of $2,624.88 are excessively high relative to the property's 

actual market value.

The property’s 2024 assessed value is $32,000, which implies an effective tax rate of over 8.2% — far above state and county averages, which typically range from 

1% to 2%. This level of taxation is unsustainable for a property of this value and represents a disproportionate burden compared to comparable properties in the 

area.

Based on current market conditions and comparable sales of similar properties in the neighborhood, I believe the True Cash Value should be closer to $20,800, 

which would yield a State Equalized Value (SEV) of $10,400 and a more equitable taxable value.

This excessive assessment not only creates a financial strain but also threatens the viability of maintaining ownership of the property. I respectfully request a 

reduction in both the True Cash Value and the Taxable Value to reflect fair and reasonable

Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues

Current Classification of Property as established by Board of Review:

What do you believe is the property’s classification?

If improved property, how is the property currently being used?

If improved property, for what use was the property designed?

Fee Information

Does the subject property have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition?

No

Are you appealing ONLY the denial of a Poverty Exemption?

No

If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, you are not required to pay any filing fees.

The filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention. If you are appealing more than one parcel, the parcel with the 

highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention will be used to determine your filing fee, plus $25.00 will be added for each additional parcel being 

appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000.

If your property is residential property (see MCL 205.762) and

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: Filing Fee is:

$100,000.00 and under $125.00

$100,000.01 to $500,000.00 $200.00

$Over $500,000.00 $300.00

If your property is NOT residential property (see MCL 205.762) and

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: Filing Fee is:

$100,000.00 and under $250.00

* Plus $25.00 for each additional parcel, as indicated above.

If your property is NOT residential property and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is $100,000.01 or greater the appeal does not qualify for 

Small Claims. Therefore, an Entire Tribunal petition must be filed.
