BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply) [4 True Cash and Taxable Value [J Poverty Exemption [J Taxable Value Only (calculation) [J Disabled Veterans Exemption [Vl Uncapping of Taxable Value [J Eligible Manufacturing Personal Property (ESA) [J Exemption from Taxation (other than the denial of a [J Classification Principal Residence or Qualified Agricultural Exemption) Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal We purchased two properties next to each other for a total value of $55,000. These properties were on the market for over 1% years with no buyers at an asking price $61,700. Some might say the true value would be lower than $55,000, but that is what we paid for it. Since the seller was asking $61,700 for these properties and nobody offered that for some time, the total value shouldn't be higher than that. We realized that when our other property tax bills came in that we didn't see a property tax bill for these properties. Upon further investigation, we realized we never received the "Notice of Assessment, Taxable Valuation, and Property Classification" information either and didn't have a chance to dispute with the Board of Review. Pictures of all our mail is emailed to us and | went through all of those images we received and confirmed they were never sent to us.
