ai that apply) 

True Cash and Taxable Value 

O Taxable Value Only (calculation) 

[] Uncapping of Taxable Value 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

Assessed value of the subject property is at least 15% per sq. ft. higher than ANY 

adjoining property in the same subdivision, of similar age, with similar or better 

construction, same or better landscaping and amenities. Seeking to get assessed value 

in-line with the subdivision values. 

Prior to recent adjustment, it was already slightly 

higher, but after 2026 adjustment, it's severely overstated. 

Assessed value of subject property is $240/sq ft (making TCV ~$480/sqft), compared to 

$195/sq ft (vs $240) assessed value of comparables, inculding 1 recent sale. This 

computes to average TCV of comparables to $391/sq ft (vs $480). There is not a single 

property in the subdivision with similarily inflated assesed values per sq ft. 

All selected comparable properties include covered patios / lanais, outdoor in-ground 

gunite pools with built-in spas (subject property has no spa) and extensive landscaping 

and hard-scaping. See additional documentation attached.

MARLON I. BROWN, DPA 

If the property does not have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition for all tax years at 

issue, the filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute. 

If you are appealing more than one 

parcel, the parcel with the highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute 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 $1,000.00 

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 

$126.00 

$100,000.01 to $500,000.00 

$200.00

$300.00 

If the 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 the property is 

NOT residential property and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute is $100,000.01 or greater the 

appeal does not qualify for Small Claims. Therefore, an Entire Tribunal petition must be filed.
