Wcy Realty v. Twp. of Fairhaven

Court of Appeals of Michigan

August 7, 2012, Decided

No. 296496

Reporter

2012 Mich. App. LEXIS 1550 *; 2012 WL 3198468

WCY REALTY, L.L.C., Petitioner-Appellant, v TOWNSHIP OF FAIRHAVEN, Respondent-Appellee.

Notice: THIS IS AN UNPUBLISHED OPINION. IN ACCORDANCE WITH MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS 

RULES, UNPUBLISHED OPINIONS ARE NOT PRECEDENTIALLY BINDING UNDER THE RULES OF STARE 

DECISIS.

Prior History: [*1] Tax Tribunal. LC No. 00-327937.

Core Terms

valuation, appraisal, disclosure, purchase price, property value, township, auction, comparable property, hearing 

referee, residential, estimate

Judges: Before: GLEICHER, P.J., and SAAD and BECKERING, JJ.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner WCY Realty, L.L.C. purchased approximately 13.25 acres of property in Fairhaven Township with 

frontage on Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron for $797,500 at a 2004 auction. WCY challenged the Township's 

subsequent determination that the property had a true cash value (TCV) of $876,000 for the 2006 tax year and 

$859,400 for the 2007 tax year. Basically, WCY claimed that it was duped into paying for a real estate developer's 

waterfront paradise, but actually received a duck-hunting swamp. WCY therefore argued that the property's 

purchase price was not indicative of its TCV. Both the local board of review and the Michigan Tax Tribunal (MTT) 

affirmed the Township's valuation over WCY's objections.

On appeal, WCY challenges the MTT's admission of an "appraisal" report from the Township's "assessor," arguing 

that she was unqualified to render an expert opinion as she was not a licensed real estate appraiser. The 

challenged report is actually a "valuation disclosure," which the Township's witness was more than qualified to 

prepare. Moreover, the MTT's ultimate ruling was based on competent, material, [*2] and substantial evidence and 

has a sound footing in law. Accordingly, WCY's appellate challenges lack merit and we affirm the MTT judgment.

I. STANDARD OF REVIEW

Absent a claim of fraud, we review MTT decisions "for misapplication of the law or adoption of a wrong principle." 

Briggs Tax Serv, LLC v Detroit Pub Sch, 485 Mich 69, 75; 780 NW2d 753 (2010). The MTT's factual findings are 

"conclusive if they are supported by 'competent, material, and substantial evidence on the whole record.'" Id.

Page 6

Page 2 of 6

"Substantial evidence is the amount of evidence that a reasonable person would accept as being sufficient to 

support a conclusion; it may be substantially less than a preponderance of the evidence." Wayne Co v Mich State 

Tax Comm, 261 Mich App 174, 186-187; 682 NW2d 100 (2004). As with any executive tribunal's judgment, we may 

not interfere with the MTT's "credibility determinations" or resolutions as to conflicting evidence. Dep't of Community 

Health v Risch, 274 Mich App 365, 372; 733 NW2d 403 (2007). We "may not set aside factual findings supported 

by evidence merely because alternative findings could also have been supported by evidence on the record or 

because the court may have reached a different [*3] result." Id. at 373. And we may not second-guess the MTT's 

discretionary decisions regarding the weight to assign to the evidence. Great Lakes Div of Nat'l Steel Corp v City of 

Ecorse, 227 Mich App 379, 404; 576 NW2d 667 (1998).

II. VALERIE MCCALLUM'S TESTIMONY AND REPORT WERE PROPERLY ADMITTED INTO EVIDENCE

WCY challenges the MTT's denial of its motion in limine to bar the testimony of the Township's assessor, Valerie 

McCallum, and to strike McCallum's valuation disclosure, which was entitled "Complete Appraisal," from the record. 

We "review the [MTT's] rulings regarding evidentiary issues if they involve errors of law." Georgetown Place Coop v 

City of Taylor, 226 Mich App 33, 50; 572 NW2d 232 (1997).

McCallum assessed WCY's property in the 2006 and 2007 tax years as part of her employer's contract with the 

Township to provide property tax assessment services. To make an "annual assessment of property" on a 

township's behalf, a person must be certified by the state assessor's board "as having successfully completed 

training in a school of assessment practices or by the passage of a test" approved and conducted by the board. 

MCL 211.10d(1). Such tax assessments are specifically excluded [*4] from the occupational code's regulation of 

real estate appraisers. MCL 339.260(a)(iii). During the 2006 and 2007 assessments, McCallum was a state-certified 

level I assessor.

In preparation for WCY's MTT appeal, McCallum authored a "Complete Appraisal." WCY argues that neither 

McCallum's "appraisal" nor her testimony was admissible at the MTT hearing because she was not a licensed 

appraiser. See MCL 339.2607 (an unlicensed person shall not act as an appraiser and shall not hold him or herself 

out as a licensed appraiser). Contrary to WCY's assertion, McCallum did not act as an "appraiser" in valuing the 

property. As such we need not consider McCallum's qualifications to prepare and submit an appraisal report. We 

are not bound to blindly accept a party's or witness's characterization of a document and may independently 

adjudge its nature by its contents. See, e.g., Manning v Amerman, 229 Mich App 608, 613; 582 NW2d 539 (1998) 

(we must "look beyond a plaintiff's choice of labels to the true nature of a plaintiff's claim"). McCallum's report was 

actually a "valuation disclosure," a document required to be presented in all MTT appeals before the entire tribunal. 

As a certified assessor, [*5] McCallum was qualified to prepare that report.

As the MTT hearing referee observed, a party is not required to produce "appraisals" in MTT proceedings. Instead, 

a party must offer a "valuation disclosure" to support its position regarding a property's taxable value. Mich Admin 

Code, R 205.1101(1)(m) provides:

"Valuation disclosure" means documentary or other tangible evidence in a property tax appeal which a party 

relies upon in support of the party's contention as to the [TCV] of the subject property or any portion thereof 

and which contains the party's value conclusions and data, valuation methodology, analysis, or reasoning in 

support of the contention. See also R 205.1252 and R 205.1283.

Rule 205.1252(1) in turn provides, "A party's valuation disclosure in a property tax appeal shall be filed with the 

[MTT] and exchanged with the opposing party as provided by order of the [MTT]." And Rule 205.1283 addresses 

the admission of evidence at an MTT hearing:

(1) The [MTT] may admit and give probative effect to evidence of a type commonly relied upon by reasonably 

prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs. Irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence may be 

excluded. Effect [*6] shall be given to the rules of privilege recognized by law.

* * *

2012 Mich. App. LEXIS 1550, *2

Page 7

Page 3 of 6

(3) Without leave of the [MTT], a witness may not testify as to the value of property without submission of a 

valuation disclosure containing that person's value conclusions and the basis for the conclusions. This does 

not, however, preclude an expert witness from rebutting another party's valuation evidence or testifying as to 

the value of the property in issue if the expert witness's value conclusions were adopted by the party and 

included in the party's valuation disclosure.

(4) If a witness is not testifying as to the value of property or as an expert witness, then his or her testimony in 

the form of opinions or inferences is limited to opinions or inferences that are rationally based on the perception 

of the witness and that are helpful to a clear understanding of his or her testimony or the determination of a fact 

in issue. See rule 701 of the Michigan rules of evidence.

Had the Legislature intended to limit MTT evidence to "appraisal" reports prepared by licensed "appraisers," it 

easily could have done so. Instead, the Legislature required parties to present "valuation disclosures" and broadly 

described those documents' [*7] contents. Under the plain language of the MTT rules, the Township was not 

required to submit an appraisal prepared by an appraiser.

In any event, an "appraisal" and an "assessment" are substantively similar and both would meet the administrative 

requirements for a "valuation disclosure." An appraisal is a privately procured evaluation to confirm the value of a 

home, usually in connection with a mortgage application or in advance of placing a house on the market. An 

assessment is a government-initiated evaluation of a home's value to determine the property tax amount. See 

Home appraisal vs. assessment: What is the difference?, Official Site of the National Association of REALTORS®, 

<http://www.realtor.com/home-values/HomeValuesFaq.aspx?source=web> (accessed July 5, 2012).

Nothing in McCallum's report goes beyond the contents of a valuation disclosure. McCallum measured the 

property's dimensions, calculated the length of its water fronts, and considered the ratio of buildable area to marsh 

lands. McCallum inspected the buildings and improvements on the property. When WCY challenged her 

assessment, McCallum searched for other properties against which to compare her assessment and determined 

 [*8] that no additional value adjustments were necessary. It is true that an appraiser would embark on the same 

sort of investigation, albeit for a private person or company rather than for a governmental entity. That McCallum 

was an assessor did not render her incompetent to form a valuation opinion. The extent of McCallum's expertise 

and qualifications affected only the weight of her report and testimony, not its admissibility. Accordingly, the MTT 

did not err in admitting this evidence.

III. DETERMINATION OF TRUE CASH VALUE SUPPORTED BY RECORD EVIDENCE

WCY challenges the MTT's determination of the property's TCV in 2006 and 2007. We conclude that the MTT's 

findings are supported by competent, material, and substantial evidence on the whole record and that it committed 

no error of law in reaching its judgment. We are therefore bound to affirm.

TCV is defined in the general property tax act, MCL 211.1 et seq. as follows:

As used in this act, "[TCV]" means the usual selling price at the place where the property to which the term is 

applied is at the time of assessment, being the price that could be obtained for the property at private sale, and 

not at auction sale except as otherwise provided [*9] in this section, or at forced sale. The usual selling price 

may include sales at public auction held by a nongovernmental agency or person if those sales have become a 

common method of acquisition in the jurisdiction for the class of property being valued. The usual selling price 

does not include sales at public auction if the sale is part of a liquidation of the seller's assets in a bankruptcy 

proceeding or if the seller is unable to use common marketing technique to obtain the usual selling price for the 

property . . . . [MCL 211.27(1).]

"'[TCV] is synonymous with 'fair market value.'" Huron Ridge LP v Ypsilanti Twp, 275 Mich App 23, 28; 737 NW2d 

187 (2007). The assessed TCV must "reflect the probable price that a willing buyer and a willing seller would arrive 

at through arm's length negotiation." Id. The petitioner, not the taxing authority, bears the burden of establishing the 

property's TCV. MCL 205.737(3).

2012 Mich. App. LEXIS 1550, *6

Page 8

Page 4 of 6

WCY first contends that the MTT improperly accepted WCY's purchase price as presumptive evidence of the 

property's TCV in violation of MCL 211.27(5), which provided at all relevant times1:

Beginning December 31, 1994, the purchase price paid in a transfer of property is not the [*10] presumptive 

[TCV] of the property transferred. In determining the [TCV] of transferred property, an assessing officer shall 

assess that property using the same valuation method used to value all other property of that same 

classification in the assessing jurisdiction. As used in this subsection, "purchase price" means the total 

consideration agreed to in an arms-length transaction and not at a forced sale paid by the purchaser of the 

property, stated in dollars, whether or not paid in dollars. [Emphasis added.]

Contrary to WCY's assertion, the MTT did not accept this purchase price evidence as conclusive of the property's 

TCV. Rather, the MTT considered WCY's purchase price along with other relevant evidence to calculate the 

property's TCV. The statutes do not preclude consideration of purchase price in reaching a valuation judgment. 

Great Lakes Div of Nat'l Steel Corp, 227 Mich App at 405; Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp v City of Warren, 193 Mich 

App 348, 353-354; 483 NW2d 416 (1992). Moreover, the MTT was not precluded from considering WCY's purchase 

price even though the [*11] property was purchased at an auction. The MTT hearing referee acknowledged that 

auction sale prices are relevant evidence but are not necessarily conclusive proof of TCV. Accordingly, we find no 

error in this regard.

WCY also accuses the MTT hearing referee of ignoring factors within McCallum's valuation disclosure revealing her 

overestimation of the property's value. Specifically, WCY asserts that the house and pole barn were in poor 

condition and should have reduced the property's value. McCallum testified, however, that she visited the property 

and found the structures to be well maintained and functional for hunting, fishing, and recreation purposes. WCY 

asserts that the property's value should have been reduced because the previous owners removed most of the 

personal property from the house and the pole barn. Yet WCY fails to support that any removed personal property 

affected its auction bid or the Township's valuation of the real property and fixtures.

WCY further claims that the MTT relied on dissimilar properties provided by the Township as "comparables" to 

calculate value and ignored more similar properties provided by WCY. "The [MTT] is under a duty to apply its 

expertise [*12] to the facts of a case to determine the appropriate method of arriving at the [TCV] of property, 

utilizing an approach that provides the most accurate valuation under the circumstances." Jones & Laughlin Steel 

Corp, 193 Mich App at 353. Determining a property's TCV "is not an exact science;" it involves many judgment calls 

and "reasonable approximation." Great Lakes Div of Nat'l Steel, 227 Mich App at 398.

"The three most common approaches to valuation are the capitalization-of-income approach, the sales-comparison 

or market approach, and the cost-less-depreciation approach." Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp, 193 Mich App at 353. 

Here, the MTT used the sales-comparison/ market and the cost-less-depreciation approaches to value WCY's 

property. The market or sales-comparison approach

require[es] an analysis of recent sales of similar properties, a comparison of the sales with the subject property, 

and adjustments to the sale prices of the comparable properties to reflect differences between the properties. It 

has been described as the only approach that directly reflects the balance of supply and demand for property in 

marketplace trading. [Great Lakes Div of Nat'l Steel Corp, 227 Mich App at 391 [*13] (citations omitted).]

"In reality the cost approach is another type of comparative or market data approach. The land is considered to 

be unimproved and valued by methods [stated elsewhere in the State Tax Comm Assessor's Manual]. The 

reproduction cost or replacement cost of the improvements is developed by comparison with the cost of new 

improvements, based on current prices of labor and materials for construction of similar improvements."

* * *

1 The statute was amended by 2010 PA 340, effective December 21, 2010. The amendment is not applicable to this case.

2012 Mich. App. LEXIS 1550, *9

Page 9

Page 5 of 6

"For most structures, depreciation must be deducted from this estimate of cost new because an old or used 

property is usually less valuable than a similar new one. This loss in value (depreciation) may be divided into 

three categories which are often estimated separately: physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and 

economic obsolescence." 1 State Tax Comm Assessor's Manual, Ch VI, p 4. [Antisdale v City of Galesburg, 

420 Mich 265, 276-277 n 1; 362 NW2d 632 (1984).]

Both parties provided comparable properties for the MTT's consideration. McCallum determined that the property's 

"highest and best use" was private residential for recreational purposes, i.e., as a vacation home used primarily for 

hunting and fishing. McCallum made this decision [*14] based on the historical use of the land for that very 

purpose. "Normally, existing use may be indicative of the use to which a potential buyer would put the property and 

is, therefore, relevant to the fair market value of the property." Safran Printing Co v Detroit, 88 Mich App 376, 382; 

276 NW2d 602 (1979). WCY's appraisal expert, on the other hand, determined that the property would be most 

valuable for conservation or preservation purposes. The appraiser noted that the lake frontage was comprised of 

marsh lands and the buildable area was quite small.

Based on the parties' disagreement over the best use for the property, they provided very different comparables. 

Unable to find similar sized properties with the same type of rudimentary housing, McCallum compared the subject 

property to smaller lakefront parcels, which were purchased with the goal of razing an existing structure and 

building a new house. WCY's expert found large lakeside properties without houses and with significant wetland 

areas. Both witnesses "adjusted" the subject property's estimated value based on differences between it and the 

selected comparable properties. Ultimately, because of their highly divergent views [*15] of the property's utility, 

McCallum valued the property at over $850,000, while WCY's appraiser estimated the property's value near only 

$250,000.

We discern no clear legal error or lack of evidentiary support for the MTT's decision such that our interference 

would be permitted. We acknowledge that WCY's appraiser is more experienced than McCallum. However, the 

witnesses' relative experience goes to the weight of the evidence, a factor solely within the MTT's discretion. Great 

Lakes Div of Nat'l Steel, 227 Mich App at 404. The MTT accepted McCallum's opinion that the property could be 

used for residential purposes and therefore was of higher value than WCY estimated. This was a reasonable choice 

given that the property had been used as a vacation home for many years. The MTT found that McCallum's 

comparable properties more accurately reflected the value of such residential/recreational lakefront land.

WCY also argues that it was improper to value the property as "lakefront" as the shoreline is actually swamp, 

marsh, and submerged land with no beach. WCY ignores that the property has access to a Great Lake and 

Saginaw Bay through a canal that is already equipped with a dock. The property [*16] is located on a peninsula 

with significant water frontage. WCY's suggested comparable properties had either little to no water access or were 

so consumed by wetlands that they could not be used for residential purposes. Again, we find no clear legal error in 

the MTT's classification of the property based on the record evidence.

Finally, WCY rebutted the Township's assessment by presenting evidence of residential properties that WCY felt 

were more akin to the subject property than the comparables provided by the Township. The MTT hearing referee 

refused to consider this evidence because WCY did not use those specific comparables in support of its own 

appraised value. Specifically, the hearing referee characterized WCY as attempting to shift the burden onto the 

Township to support its valuation decision rather than accepting its legal burden to refute the Township's valuation. 

We discern no error in that ruling.

Affirmed.

Judges: Before: DONOFRIO, P.J., and OWENS and BORRELLO, JJ.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner appeals as of right from a final opinion and judgment of the Michigan Tax Tribunal (MTT) establishing the 

true cash value, state equalized value, and taxable value of real property located in the city of Grosse Pointe Farms 

("respondent") for the 2012 tax year. For the reasons set forth in this opinion, we affirm.

I. BASIC FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

In March 2011, petitioner purchased residential real property located in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan ("subject 

property"), for $528,900. The original taxable value of the subject property for the 2012 tax year was $343,400. 

Petitioner protested the original taxable value of the subject property for the 2012 tax year before the 2012 March 

Board of Review. After a hearing, the Board of Review lowered the taxable value of subject property to $300,000 

due to a reduction in the square footage.

Petitioner appealed the Board of Review's decision to the MTT and asserted that the true cash value of the subject 

property for the 2012 tax year is $529,000, and the taxable value for the 2012 tax year is $264,500. Respondent 

and petitioner both submitted [*2] sales comparables to the MTT, and after a hearing, a proposed opinion and 

judgment was entered. Petitioner filed objections to the proposed opinion and judgment; however, the MTT upheld 

the Board of Review's assessment of the subject property. The MTT determined that the subject property's true 

cash value, state equalized value, and taxable value for the 2012 tax year are $600,000, $300,000, and $300,000, 

respectively. The MTT entered a final opinion and order that adopted the proposed opinion and judgment and 

incorporated it by reference. It is from this final opinion and order that petitioner appeals.

II. STANDARD OF REVIEW

Our review of a decision of the MTT is narrow. Absent fraud, our Court's review of a MTT decision is limited to 

determining whether the MTT made an error of law or adopted a wrong legal principle. Const 1963, art 6, § 28; 

Meijer, Inc v City of Midland, 240 Mich App 1, 5; 610 NW2d 242 (2000). The MTT's factual findings are upheld 

unless they are not supported by competent, material, and substantial evidence. Georgetown Place Co-op v City of 

Taylor, 226 Mich App 33, 43; 572 NW2d 232 (1997). The MTT's failure to base its decision on competent, material, 

and substantial evidence is an error of law requiring reversal. Oldenburg v Dryden Twp, 198 Mich App 696, 698; 

499 NW2d 416 (1993). Substantial evidence is any evidence that reasonable minds would accept as sufficient to 

support the MTT's decision. Detroit Lions, Inc v City of Dearborn, 302 Mich App 676, 691; 840 NW2d 168 

(2013) [*3] , citing In re Grant, 250 Mich App 13, 18-19; 645 NW2d 79 (2002). Moreover, substantial evidence must 

be more than a scintilla of evidence, although it may be substantially less than a preponderance of the evidence. 

Meijer, Inc, 240 Mich App at 5.

III. ANALYSIS

As was argued before the MTT, on appeal, petitioner argues that he met the burden of establishing that the true 

cash value of the subject property for the 2012 tax year is $528,900, and that the MTT committed an error of law in 

excluding the purchase price of the subject property from consideration.

The Michigan Constitution provides that the true cash value is necessary to determine a property's proper tax. 

Const 1963, art 9, §3. The "true cash value" of a property is defined as:

the usual selling price at the place where the property to which the term is applied is at the time of assessment, 

being the price that could be obtained for the property at private sale, and not at auction sale except as 

otherwise provided in this section, or at forced sale. [MCL 211.27(1).]

The "true cash value" of property is synonymous with the "fair market value" of the property. Huron Ridge, LP v 

Ypsilanti Twp, 275 Mich App 23, 28; 737 NW2d 187 (2007). "[T]he purchase price paid in a transfer of property is 

not the presumptive true cash value of the property transferred." MCL 211.27(6). The term "purchase price" means 

"the total consideration agreed to in an arms-length transaction and not as a forced sale paid by the purchaser of 

the property." Id.

The burden of establishing the "true cash value" is on [*4] the petitioner. MCL 205.737(3). Even if the petitioner 

fails to meet its burden, the MTT must determine the property's true cash value "utilizing an approach that provides 

the most accurate valuation under the circumstances. . . ." Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp v City of Warren, 193 Mich 

App 348, 353; 483 NW2d 416 (1992). The MTT is not bound to accept either party's theory of valuation, and has a 

duty to make an independent determination of true cash value. Great Lakes Div of Nat'l Steel Corp v City of Ecorse, 

227 Mich. App. 379, 390; 576 N.W.2d 667 (1998). Because MCL 211.27(1) does not mandate a single method to 

arrive at the true cash value, our Supreme Court recognizes certain appraisal methods as the traditionally favored 

methods of calculating a property's true cash value. However, "[a]ny method which is recognized as accurate and 

reasonably related to fair market valuation is an acceptable indicator of true cash value." Huron Ridge, LP, 275 

Mich App at 28. As a result of the broad legislative definition, "it has fallen to the courts to approve or disapprove of 

specific methods of determining true cash value, guided by those available expressions of legislative intent." 

Antisdale v Galesburg, 420 Mich 265, 276; 362 NW2d 632 (1984). See also, Huron Ridge, LP, 275 Mich App at 28-

29.

Petitioner paid $528,900 for the subject property in March 2011 after successfully bidding on the property as a part 

of a private sale. Although petitioner provided evidence that the price he paid for the property was "the total 

consideration agreed [*5] to in an arms-length transaction and not as a forced sale paid by the purchaser of the 

property," MCL 211.27(6), his argument disregards the time at which the sale occurred. Petitioner purchased the 

2014 Mich. App. LEXIS 1715, *2

Page 14

Page 3 of 4

subject property in March of 2011 for $528,900, which is nine months before the 2012 tax day on MCL 211.2(2),1 

December 31, 2011. Moreover, he attached as evidence of the true cash value the appraisal of the subject property 

at the time the sale was consummated, but did not provide any evidence of the true cash value of the home as of 

December 31, 2011. Given that the true cash value of a property is measured at the time of the tax day, and 

petitioner presented no evidence of the value of the property on that particular date, we cannot find that the MTT 

erred in finding that petitioner failed to meet the burden of establishing the true cash value of the subject property 

for the 2012 tax year.

Furthermore, contrary to petitioner's arguments on appeal, the MTT did not entirely dismiss petitioner's purchase 

price when reaching its decision. [*6] Rather, the MTT concluded that the subject property was purchased 

significantly before the tax day and was not time adjusted. Accordingly, we are compelled to affirm the decision of 

the MTT because the date of the sale was considered in determining how relevant the purchase price was to the 

valuation of the property for the 2012 tax year. Furthermore, although the MTT held that the purchase price of the 

subject property is not the presumptive true cash value, we note that prior decisions of this Court do not require the 

MTT to accept petitioner's theory of the true cash value. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp, 193 Mich App at 353. 

Consequently, given our standard of review on such matters, we cannot hold that the MTT committed an error of 

law when it rejected petitioner's theory that true cash value of the subject property was the purchase price. Id.

Petitioner next contends that the MTT erred in a number of its findings concerning the valuation of the subject 

property.

Petitioner first argues that the MTT improperly treated respondent's broker price opinions ("BPOs") as comparables 

and then erroneously held that they were "better" than his comparables due to their location. On appeal, petitioner 

fails to provide any legal authority in [*7] support of his contention that it is an error of law for the MTT to find that a 

BPO is more reliable than an appraisal. Because a party may not merely announce a position and provide no legal 

authority to support it, this issue is waived. Nat'l Waterworks, Inc v Int'l Fidelity & Surety, Ltd, 275 Mich App 256, 

265; 739 NW2d 121 (2007). However, even if we were to consider this argument, the record reveals that the MTT 

made an independent determination that the true cash value of the subject property, as adjusted for the change in 

square footage and size of the garage, supports the Board of Review's assessment. Therefore, petitioner is not 

entitled to relief on this issue.

Petitioner next argues that the MTT erred when it treated the location of comparables as dispositive in determining 

the valuation of the subject property. However, our review of the record evidence leads us to a contrary conclusion. 

The MTT did not solely rely on the location of the comparables used by petitioner and respondent in their respective 

valuations of the subject property. Rather, the MTT found the comparables used by respondent to be more reliable 

than the comparables used by petitioner for several reasons apart from location, including the date of sale, size, 

and quality. Again, our review of the record [*8] reveals that the MTT found that respondent's comparables were 

more reliable because they were sold closer to the relevant tax date. This was not error. MCL 211.2(2). The MTT 

further found that even if it were to remove the location adjustment from respondent's comparables, those adjusted 

sales prices would still support the current assessed and taxable values of the subject property. Therefore, the MTT 

did not treat location of the comparables alone as dispositive, and petitioner is not entitled to relief on this issue.

Next, petitioner asserts that respondent's assessor improperly and arbitrarily adjusted the value of the subject 

property upward in order to account for the difference in value between the subject property and comparables. 

However, we cannot glean from petitioner's appeal a sufficient factual basis for his claim. Our review of the record 

leads us to conclude that respondent's sales comparison analysis indicates that respondent's assessor made 

adjustments to the comparables on the basis of location, quality of construction, age, room count and gross living 

area, garage size, and the number of fireplaces. Therefore, a review of the record indicates that the adjustments 

were not merely [*9] arbitrary and baseless. Accordingly, petitioner is not entitled to relief on this issue.

1 The taxable status of real property for a tax year is determined by the value of the property on December 31 of the immediately 

preceding year, which is considered the "tax day."

2014 Mich. App. LEXIS 1715, *5

Page 4 of 4

Petitioner also argues that the MTT erred in concluding that he benefited from the purchase of the subject property. 

In the final opinion and judgment, MTT specifically held:

although Petitioner contends that the condition of the subject property warrants a further reduction, Petitioner 

benefited from this when he purchased the subject property, Petitioner's appraisal indicates that the condition 

of the subject property is "average" as compared to competing homes (and in fact states that the cost to cure 

for repairs would only be $2,250), and even if the Tribunal were to apply the $75,000 adjustment that 

Petitioner's appraisal applied for the comparables that were considered "good" to Respondent's adjusted sales 

prices of $674,020-$741,380, which includes an adjustment to account for the subject property only having 

5,000 square feet and a three-car garage, the adjusted sales price minus a $75,000 adjustment would still 

support the values as determined by the Board of Review.

Although the MTT stated that petitioner benefited from the condition of the property when he purchased it, this was 

not the [*10] basis from which the MTT made its determination of the true cash value and taxable value of the 

subject property. The MTT recognized that petitioner's appraisal indicated that the subject property was in average 

condition, as opposed to respondent's determination that the subject property was in good condition. The MTT held 

that even if it were to apply the $75,000 reduction in value that petitioner's appraiser applied to comparables that 

were in good condition, the adjustment to respondent's comparables for the change in the condition would still 

support the assessment values as determined by the Board of Review. Given that petitioner's own appraisal when 

the subject property was purchased in March 2011 listed the condition of the subject property as average, and the 

reduction in value to respondent's comparables still supported the MTT's determination of the value of the subject 

property, the MTT's findings were supported by competent, material, and substantial evidence. Georgetown Place 

Co-op, 226 Mich App at 43.

Petitioner next contends that the MTT committed legal error in concluding that he benefited from the purchase price 

and taxed the subject property as if maintenance had been provided.

MCL 211.27(2) provides, in pertinent part: [*11] 

The assessor shall not consider the increase in true cash value that is a result of expenditures for normal 

repairs, replacement, and maintenance in determining the true cash value of property for assessment purposes 

until the property is sold.

Despite petitioner's assertion that the MTT accepted respondent's argument that the assessment for the subject 

property should be higher due to maintenance that will be conducted in the future, nothing in the record supports 

this claim. As discussed above, the MTT's statement that petitioner benefited from the condition of the property 

when he purchased it had no effect on the valuation of the subject property. The MTT did not make any specific 

reference to increasing the true cash value as a result of expenditures for normal repairs, replacement, and 

maintenance. MCL 211.27(2). Instead, the MTT emphasized that petitioner's comparables were not reliable 

indicators of the true cash value based on the time in which the comparables were sold. The MTT also stated that 

any adjustment to the location and condition of the property would have no effect of the Board of Review's 

determination of the valuation of the property. Therefore, the MTT did not tax petitioner [*12] on the basis that 

expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance would be made to the subject property, and accordingly, 

petitioner is not entitled to relief on this issue.

Affirmed. No costs are awarded. MCR 7.219(A).

AFFIDAVIT OF DANIEL S. CARLSON 

DANIEL S. CARLSON, being first duly sworn, deposes and states as follows: 

1. 

That he has personal knowledge of matters stated herein and if called as a withess 

would testify to them. 

That he and his wife Pamela Carlson are the current owners of the property located 

at 32781 West 11 Mile Road in Farmington Hills, Michigan, (the “Subject Property”), 

pursuant to a land contract entered into on May 5, 2025 with the Daniel S. Carlson 

Business Trust. 

That he is a beneficiary of the Daniel S. Carlson Business Trust. 

The Subject Property was in need of substantial amounts of normal repairs, 

replacements, and maintenance, which had evidently been neglected for some 

years. We have found it necessary to perform the following work so far: 

A. 

moow 

om 

Replaced old and not working kitchen appliances, appx. $22,000. 

Replaced 1 entire HVAC unit (not functional), appx. $15,000. 

Replaced Hot Water heater (not functional), appx. $5,000. 

Replace furnace in garage (cracked), appx. $6,000. 

All bedroom floors were carpet that smelled bad and was not fit for 

human use. Appx $15,000. 

Multiple Rounds of Roofing repairs, $3,500. 

G. Mold Remediation, $8,500. 

. Remove old rusted and out of code fence with a new safe one and remove 

old and not functional koi pond. Appx. $31,000. 

Replace Gazebo (hazardous, infested with ants and not safe for use). 

Appx $10,000. 

Replace Gutters (not functional), appx. $14,000. 

Replace rotted soffits and cover with metal, $30,000. 

All windows in the house were warped and from 1990, providing no 

insulation and many had broken seals. We replaced the 1990 Anderson 

windows with new Anderson windows. So far about $80,000. 

. Replace old toilets, appx. $1,600. 

Repair and replace all dangerous electrical issues, including 2 boxes from 

1990 that the electrician said would render the home uninsurable. Appx. 

$12,000. 

Repairs to Deck and Deck Railing, appx. $25,000. (these repairs ended up 

being insufficient). 

Replace Pool Pump and Sand (dying), appx.$4,500.

Page 47

Q. 

Broken Plumbing Pipe in Basement and flush old pipes: appx. $2,000. 

R. 

Hook home to a different well to replace failing well. Appx. $25,000. 

S. 

Insulate Attic, appx. $13,000. 

5. 

The following repairs are still needed: 

A. 

Upon inspection to determine condition for winter, two more furnaces 

were determined to be in need of replacement. We have an estimate of 

$14,500 for the two of them. 

B. 

Replace the rest of the windows, appx. $75,000- $100,000. 

C. This fall: Repair and Renovate the Pool (tile falling off, may be leaking. 

Replace old dangerous lights and main drain for safety). $95,000. 

D. 

Need to completely replace the deck, appx. $30,000-$40,000. 

6. 

In sum, since acquiring the Subject Property, we have spent over $300,000 on 

necessary repairs, replacements and maintenance, and are facing additional such 

costs in an amount somewhere between $215,000-$250,000. 

7. 

That the electric bill for the Subject Property is typically $500 to $1,200 per month. 

8. 

That the natural gas bill for the Subject Property is typically $100 to $800 per month. 

9. 

Further Deponent Sayeth Not.

According to the City of Farmington Hills Assessor's Records, the current owner 

purchased the subject on 11/25/2024 for $900,000. On 5/5/2025 there was a land contract sale between Daniel S Carlson Business Trust (grantor) and Daniel S 

Carlson (grantee) for $900,000. This was a pocket to pocket non arms length transaction. All comparables utilized did not have a prior sale or transfer history for 

one year prior from the effective date of this appraisal report.

Market value was calculated through the sales comparison approach. The cost approach was not developed due to the age of the subject. The income approach 

was considered; however, was not developed due to the subject being owner occupied.

Uniform Residential Appraisal Report

File No.

This report form is designed to report an appraisal of a one-unit property or a one-unit property with an accessory unit; including a

unit in a planned unit development (PUD). This report form is not designed to report an appraisal of a manufactured home or a unit

in a condominium or cooperative project.

This appraisal report is subject to the following scope of work, intended use, intended user, definition of market value, statement of

assumptions and limiting conditions, and certifications. Modifications, additions, or deletions to the intended use, intended user,

definition of market value, or assumptions and limiting conditions are not permitted. The appraiser may expand the scope of work

to include any additional research or analysis necessary based on the complexity of this appraisal assignment. Modifications or

deletions to the certifications are also not permitted. However, additional certifications that do not constitute material alterations

to this appraisal report, such as those required by law or those related to the appraiser’s continuing education or membership in an

appraisal organization, are permitted.

SCOPE OF WORK: The scope of work for this appraisal is defined by the complexity of this appraisal assignment and the

reporting requirements of this appraisal report form, including the following definition of market value, statement of assumptions

and limiting conditions, and certifications. The appraiser must, at a minimum: (1) perform a complete visual inspection of the

interior and exterior areas of the subject property, (2) inspect the neighborhood, (3) inspect each of the comparable sales from at

least the street, (4) research, verify, and analyze data from reliable public and/or private sources, and (5) report his or her analysis,

opinions, and conclusions in this appraisal report.

INTENDED USE: The intended use of this appraisal report is for the lender/client to evaluate the property that is the subject of

this appraisal for a mortgage finance transaction.

INTENDED USER: The intended user of this appraisal report is the lender/client.

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market

under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is

not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of

title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (1) buyer and seller are typically motivated; (2) both parties are well informed

or well advised, and each acting in what he or she considers his or her own best interest; (3) a reasonable time is allowed for

exposure in the open market; (4) payment is made in terms of cash in U. S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements

comparable thereto; and (5) the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative

financing or sales concessions* granted by anyone associated with the sale.

*Adjustments to the comparables must be made for special or creative financing or sales concessions. No adjustments are

necessary for those costs which are normally paid by sellers as a result of tradition or law in a market area; these costs are readily

identifiable since the seller pays these costs in virtually all sales transactions. Special or creative financing adjustments can be

made to the comparable property by comparisons to financing terms offered by a third party institutional lender that is not already

involved in the property or transaction. Any adjustment should not be calculated on a mechanical dollar for dollar cost of the

financing or concession but the dollar amount of any adjustment should approximate the market's reaction to the financing or

concessions based on the appraiser's judgment.

STATEMENT OF ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS: The appraiser’s certification in this report is subject to the

following assumptions and limiting conditions:

1.

The appraiser will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect either the property being appraised or the title

to it, except for information that he or she became aware of during the research involved in performing this appraisal. The

appraiser assumes that the title is good and marketable and will not render any opinions about the title.

2.

The appraiser has provided a sketch in this appraisal report to show the approximate dimensions of the improvements. The

sketch is included only to assist the reader in visualizing the property and understanding the appraiser’s determination of its size.

3.

The appraiser has examined the available flood maps that are provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or

other data sources) and has noted in this appraisal report whether any portion of the subject site is located in an identified Special

Flood Hazard Area. Because the appraiser is not a surveyor, he or she makes no guarantees, express or implied, regarding this

determination.

4.

The appraiser will not give testimony or appear in court because he or she made an appraisal of the property in question,

unless specific arrangements to do so have been made beforehand, or as otherwise required by law.

5.

The appraiser has noted in this appraisal report any adverse conditions (such as needed repairs, deterioration, the presence of

hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) observed during the inspection of the subject property or that he or she became aware of

during the research involved in performing this appraisal. Unless otherwise stated in this appraisal report, the appraiser has no

knowledge of any hidden or unapparent physical deficiencies or adverse conditions of the property (such as, but not limited to,

needed repairs, deterioration, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, adverse environmental conditions, etc.) that

would make the property less valuable, and has assumed that there are no such conditions and makes no guarantees or

warranties, express or implied. The appraiser will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or

testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist. Because the appraiser is not an expert in the field of

environmental hazards, this appraisal report must not be considered as an environmental assessment of the property.

6.

The appraiser has based his or her appraisal report and valuation conclusion for an appraisal that is subject to satisfactory

completion, repairs, or alterations on the assumption that the completion, repairs, or alterations of the subject property will be

performed in a professional manner.

APPRAISER'S CERTIFICATION: The Appraiser certifies and agrees that:

1.

I have, at a minimum, developed and reported this appraisal in accordance with the scope of work requirements stated in this

appraisal report.

2.

I performed a complete visual inspection of the interior and exterior areas of the subject property. I reported the condition of

the improvements in factual, specific terms. I identified and reported the physical deficiencies that could affect the livability,

soundness, or structural integrity of the property.

3.

I performed this appraisal in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice

that were adopted and promulgated by the Appraisal Standards Board of The Appraisal Foundation and that were in place at the

time this appraisal report was prepared.

4.

I developed my opinion of the market value of the real property that is the subject of this report based on the sales comparison

approach to value. I have adequate comparable market data to develop a reliable sales comparison approach for this appraisal

assignment. I further certify that I considered the cost and income approaches to value but did not develop them, unless otherwise

indicated in this report.

5.

I researched, verified, analyzed, and reported on any current agreement for sale for the subject property, any offering for sale

of the subject property in the twelve months prior to the effective date of this appraisal, and the prior sales of the subject property

for a minimum of three years prior to the effective date of this appraisal, unless otherwise indicated in this report.

6.

I researched, verified, analyzed, and reported on the prior sales of the comparable sales for a minimum of one year prior to the

date of sale of the comparable sale, unless otherwise indicated in this report.

7.

I selected and used comparable sales that are locationally, physically, and functionally the most similar to the subject property.

8.

I have not used comparable sales that were the result of combining a land sale with the contract purchase price of a home

that has been built or will be built on the land.

9.

I have reported adjustments to the comparable sales that reflect the market's reaction to the differences between the subject

property and the comparable sales.

10. I verified, from a disinterested source, all information in this report that was provided by parties who have a financial interest in

the sale or financing of the subject property.

11. I have knowledge and experience in appraising this type of property in this market area.

12. I am aware of, and have access to, the necessary and appropriate public and private data sources, such as multiple listing

services, tax assessment records, public land records and other such data sources for the area in which the property is located.

13. I obtained the information, estimates, and opinions furnished by other parties and expressed in this appraisal report from

reliable sources that I believe to be true and correct.

14. I have taken into consideration the factors that have an impact on value with respect to the subject neighborhood, subject

property, and the proximity of the subject property to adverse influences in the development of my opinion of market value. I have

noted in this appraisal report any adverse conditions (such as, but not limited to, needed repairs, deterioration, the presence of

hazardous wastes, toxic substances, adverse environmental conditions, etc.) observed during the inspection of the subject property

or that I became aware of during the research involved in performing this appraisal. I have considered these adverse conditions in

my analysis of the property value, and have reported on the effect of the conditions on the value and marketability of the subject

property.

15. I have not knowingly withheld any significant information from this appraisal report and, to the best of my knowledge, all

statements and information in this appraisal report are true and correct.

16. I stated in this appraisal report my own personal, unbiased, and professional analysis, opinions, and conclusions, which are

subject only to the assumptions and limiting conditions in this appraisal report.

17. I have no present or prospective interest in the property that is the subject of this report, and I have no present or prospective

personal interest or bias with respect to the participants in the transaction. I did not base, either partially or completely, my

analysis and/or opinion of market value in this appraisal report on the race, color, religion, sex, age, marital status, handicap,

familial status, or national origin of either the prospective owners or occupants of the subject property or of the present owners or

occupants of the properties in the vicinity of the subject property or on any other basis prohibited by law.

18. My employment and/or compensation for performing this appraisal or any future or anticipated appraisals was not conditioned

on any agreement or understanding, written or otherwise, that I would report (or present analysis supporting) a predetermined

specific value, a predetermined minimum value, a range or direction in value, a value that favors the cause of any party, or the

attainment of a specific result or occurrence of a specific subsequent event (such as approval of a pending mortgage loan

application).

19. I personally prepared all conclusions and opinions about the real estate that were set forth in this appraisal report. If I relied on

significant real property appraisal assistance from any individual or individuals in the performance of this appraisal or the

preparation of this appraisal report, I have named such individual(s) and disclosed the specific tasks performed in this appraisal

report. I certify that any individual so named is qualified to perform the tasks. I have not authorized anyone to make a change to

any item in this appraisal report; therefore, any change made to this appraisal is unauthorized and I will take no responsibility for it.

20. I identified the lender/client in this appraisal report who is the individual, organization, or agent for the organization that ordered

and will receive this appraisal report.

21. The lender/client may disclose or distribute this appraisal report to: the borrower; another lender at the request of the borrower;

the mortgagee or its successors and assigns; mortgage insurers; government sponsored enterprises; other secondary market

participants; data collection or reporting services; professional appraisal organizations; any department, agency, or instrumentality

of the United States; and any state, the District of Columbia, or other jurisdictions; without having to obtain the appraiser’s or

supervisory appraiser’s (if applicable) consent. Such consent must be obtained before this appraisal report may be disclosed or

distributed to any other party (including, but not limited to, the public through advertising, public relations, news, sales, or other

media).

Condition Ratings and Definitions

C1

The improvements have been very recently constructed and have not previously been occupied. The entire structure and all components are new and the dwelling features no

physical depreciation.*

*Note: Newly constructed improvements that feature recycled materials and/or components can be considered new dwellings provided that the dwelling is placed on a 100% new

foundation and the recycled materials and the recycled components have been rehabilitated/re-manufactured into like-new condition. Recently constructed improvements that have

not been previously occupied are not considered "new" if they have any significant physical depreciation (i.e., newly constructed dwellings that have been vacant for an extended

period of time without adequate maintenance or upkeep).

C2

The improvements feature no deferred maintenance, little or no physical depreciation, and require no repairs. Virtually all building components are new or have been recently

repaired, refinished, or rehabilitated. All outdated components and finishes have been updated and/or replaced with components that meet current standards. Dwellings in this category

either are almost new or have been recently completely renovated and are similar in condition to new construction.

*Note: The improvements represent a relatively new property that is well maintained with no deferred maintenance and little or no physical depreciation, or an older property that has 

been recently completely renovated.

C3

The improvements are well maintained and feature limited physical depreciation due to normal wear and tear. Some components, but not every major building component, may

be updated or recently rehabilitated. The structure has been well maintained.

*Note: The improvement is in its first-cycle of replacing short-lived building components (appliances, floor coverings, HVAC, etc.) and is being well maintained. Its estimated effective age

is less than its actual age. It also may reflect a property in which the majority of short-lived building components have been replaced but not to the level of a complete renovation.

C4

The improvements feature some minor deferred maintenance and physical deterioration due to normal wear and tear. The dwelling has been adequately maintained and requires

only minimal repairs to building components/mechanical systems and cosmetic repairs. All major building components have been adequately maintained and are functionally adequate.

*Note: The estimated effective age may be close to or equal to its actual age. It reflects a property in which some of the short-lived building components have been replaced, and some

short-lived building components are at or near the end of their physical life expectancy; however, they still function adequately. Most minor repairs have been addressed on an ongoing

basis resulting in an adequately maintained property.

C5

The improvements feature obvious deferred maintenance and are in need of some significant repairs. Some building components need repairs, rehabilitation, or updating. The

functional utility and overall livability is somewhat diminished due to condition, but the dwelling remains useable and functional as a residence.

*Note: Some significant repairs are needed to the improvements due to the lack of adequate maintenance. It reflects a property in which many of its short-lived building components are

at the end of or have exceeded their physical life expectancy but remain functional.

C6

The improvements have substantial damage or deferred maintenance with deficiencies or defects that are severe enough to affect the safety, soundness, or structural integrity

of the improvements. The improvements are in need of substantial repairs and rehabilitation, including many or most major components.

*Note: Substantial repairs are needed to the improvements due to the lack of adequate maintenance or property damage. It reflects a property with conditions severe enough to affect

the safety, soundness, or structural integrity of the improvements.

Quality Ratings and Definitions

Q1

Dwellings with this quality rating are usually unique structures that are individually designed by an architect for a specified user. Such residences typically are constructed from

detailed architectural plans and specifications and feature an exceptionally high level of workmanship and exceptionally high-grade materials throughout the interior and exterior of the

structure. The design features exceptionally high-quality exterior refinements and ornamentation, and exceptionally high-quality interior refinements. The workmanship, materials, and

finishes throughout the dwelling are of exceptionally high quality.

Q2

Dwellings with this quality rating are often custom designed for construction on an individual property owner's site. However, dwellings in this quality grade are also found in

high-quality tract developments featuring residences constructed from individual plans or from highly modified or upgraded plans. The design features detailed, high-quality exterior

ornamentation, high-quality interior refinements, and detail. The workmanship, materials, and finishes throughout the dwelling are generally of high or very high quality.

Q3

Dwellings with this quality rating are residences of higher quality built from individual or readily available designer plans in above-standard residential tract developments or on

an individual property owner's site. The design includes significant exterior ornamentation and interiors that are well finished. The workmanship exceeds acceptable standards and

many materials and finishes throughout the dwelling have been upgraded from "stock" standards.

Q4

Dwellings with this quality rating meet or exceed the requirements of applicable building codes. Standard or modified standard building plans are utilized and the design includes

adequate fenestration and some exterior ornamentation and interior refinements. Materials, workmanship, finish, and equipment are of stock or builder grade and may feature some

upgrades.

Q5

Dwellings with this quality rating feature economy of construction and basic functionality as main considerations. Such dwellings feature a plain design using readily available or

basic floor plans featuring minimal fenestration and basic finishes with minimal exterior ornamentation and limited interior detail. These dwellings meet minimum building codes and are

constructed with inexpensive, stock materials with limited refinements and upgrades.

Q6

Dwellings with this quality rating are of basic quality and lower cost; some may not be suitable for year-round occupancy. Such dwellings are often built with simple plans or

without plans, often utilizing the lowest quality building materials. Such dwellings are often built or expanded by persons who are professionally unskilled or possess only minimal

construction skills. Electrical, plumbing, and other mechanical systems and equipment may be minimal or non-existent. Older dwellings may feature one or more substandard or

non-conforming additions to the original structure.

Definitions of Not Updated, Updated, and Remodeled

Not Updated

Little or no updating or modernization. This description includes, but is not limited to, new homes.

Residential properties of fifteen years of age or less often reflect an original condition with no updating, if no major components have been replaced or updated. Those over fifteen

years of age are also considered not updated if the appliances, fixtures, and finishes are predominantly dated. An area that is 'Not Updated' may still be well maintained and fully

functional, and this rating does not necessarily imply deferred maintenance or physical /functional deterioration.

Updated

The area of the home has been modified to meet current market expectations. These modifications are limited in terms of both scope and cost.

An updated area of the home should have an improved look and feel, or functional utility. Changes that constitute updates include refurbishment and/or replacing components to meet

existing market expectations. Updates do not include significant alterations to the existing structure.

Remodeled

Significant finish and/or structural changes have been made that increase utility and appeal through complete replacement and/ or expansion.

A remodeled area reflects fundamental changes that include multiple alterations. These alterations may include some or all of the following: replacement of a major component

(cabinet(s), bathtub, or bathroom tile), relocation of plumbing/gas fixtures/appliances, significant structural alterations (relocating walls, and/or the addition of square footage).

This would include a complete gutting and rebuild.

Explanation of Bathroom Count

The number of full and half baths is reported by separating the two values by a period. The full bath is represented to the left of the period. The half bath count is represented to the

right of the period. Three-quarter baths are to be counted as a full bath in all cases. Quarter baths (baths that feature only toilet) are not to be included in the bathroom count.

Addendum Page 2 of 4

Due to the subjects larger gross building area and located on a main road this appraiser had to expand to the neighboring

city of West Bloomfield Twp. within a 5 mile radius from the subject property. The adjusted sale price of comparables has a

wide range due to this appraiser had tried to bracket the gross living area. 

Comments on Sales Comparison Approach

For an estimation of value for single family homes, the sales comparison approach is the strongest approach. The

comparables used are considered to be the best and most reliable indicators for the subject's market value.

CONDITION OF SALE - All comparables were sold as arm's length transactions; therefore, no adjustments were applied. 

CONCESSIONS - No adjustments were applied for sellers concessions.

DATE OF SALE/TIME - All comparables are sold within the past twelve months in stable market conditions and no

adjustments were applied. 

LOCATION - The subject is located on a main road 11 Mile Rd. with a 45 MPH speed limit. An adjustment of 2% was

applied to comparables located on a residential street. Due to the lack of comparable sales similar to the subject this

appraiser had to expand to a 5 mile radius in the West Bloomfield Twp. The subject property is on a main road; however this

appraiser was unable to bracket the main road adjustment. 

SITE - The subject lot size is 2.77/ac. An adjustment of $0.50/sf. was adjusted for the difference in lot size. This appraiser

was unable to bracket the lot size.

VIEW - All comparables have residential views, similar to the subject; therefore, no adjustments were applied.

 

DESIGN (STYLE) - The subject is a ranch design style. No adjustments were applied for design style. 

AGE - The subject was built in 1954. No adjustments were applied for age. This adjustment was applied from the condition

adjustment. 

CONDITION - The subject is in a C-4 condition. An adjustment of 12% was applied for a C-3 condition. 

GLA - An adjustment of $60.00/sf. was applied for comparable sales GBA difference greater than 50/sf, and rounded to the

nearest 100sf. 

BATHROOMS - An adjustment of $5,000 was applied for a half bathroom above grade and $10,000 was applied for a full

bathroom. 

FOUNDATION The subject has a finished basement. A upward adjustment of of $25,000 was applied for a finished

basement, $8,000 was applied non walkout basement, $7,000 was applied for a full bathroom below grade.

ENERGY EFFICIENT ITEMS - Based on the data collected, the subject and comparables utilized appear to have a similar

compliment of energy efficient items that are consistent with market expectations for the age, quality and price range. 

All comparables have similar energy efficient items as the subject and no adjustments were applied.

GARAGE/CARPORT - The subject has a five car garage. An adjustment of $5,000 was applied for each bay. This 

appraiser was unable to bracket the garage count. 

COOLING - No adjustments were applied for central air.

DECK/PATIO - No adjustments were applied for a deck or patio.

IN-GROUND POOL - An adjustment of $12,000 was applied for a in-ground pool. This appraiser was unable to bracket the

pool adjustment.

All adjustment amounts were extracted and supported by paired sale analysis, interviewing local agents active in

the subject's area and Marshal and Swift Residential Code Handbook (12/2024).

Reconciliation

After considering all three approaches to value for an opinion of market value for a single family home, the sales comparison

approach is the strongest and most reliable. Adjustments were made for items of significant difference between the

comparables and the subject.

After a thorough scan of the subject's market area, four comparable sales were utilized for this appraisal report, three

comparables sold within the past ninety days from the effective date of this appraisal report, and all other comparables sold

with twelve months and two currently listed for sale. These six comparables are considered to be the best and most

reliable indicators for the subject's market value. 

Comparables #1, #2 and #4 are the most recent sales. 

Comparable #3 was utilized as additional support.

Comparables #5 & #6 are active listing.

Search Parameters

Realcomp MLS with specific information being: sales from the past twelve months from the effective date of this appraisal

report, within five miles of the subject, and similar in location, year built, design (style), size, condition and quality.

appraisal report. Due to the larger gross building area and lot size. The subject is overbuilt for the area, The average gross

living area is from 1,800/sf. - 2,500/sf. and 3,600/sf. on the higher side. The average sale price in Farmington Hills is

Adjustment Guidelines

The adjustments guidelines were exceeded in order to create an accurate and creditable appraisal report.

Reasonable Exposure Time

Estimated length of time that the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the

hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal.

Comment: Reasonable exposure time is a retrospective opinion based on an analysis of past events assuming a

competitive and open market. In contrast, Advisory Opinion 7 (AO-7), Marketing time Opinions, defines

Reasonable Marketing Time

An opinion of the amount of time it might take to sell a real or personal property interest at the concluded market value level

during the period immediately after the effective date of an appraisal.

In other words, exposure time occurs before the effective date of the appraisal, whereas marketing time occurs after the

effective date. An estimate of exposure time is required by USPAP for market value appraisal assignments (see Standards

Rules 1-2(c)(iv) and 7-2(c)iv)), whereas an estimated of marketing time is not mandated by USPAP (but maybe required by

the client and so becomes an assignment condition in those assignments). For additional guidance, see SMT-6 and AO-7.

This was taken from USPAP Advisory Opinions 2024 Edition, page F-76, copyright by The Appraisal Foundation.

The estimated reasonable exposure and marketing time of the subject is under 3 months given the conditions stated in this

report.

The 1004MC addendum is an analysis of sales and listings that are deemed suitable substitutions for the subject property to a typical buyer in this market and 

values have not been adjusted for differences to the subject. Due to the extremely limited amount of comparable sales noted within the past twelve months, the 

data in this 1004MC addendum is not deemed to be statistically reliable. However, based on a market analysis of all sales within the subject's market, it is the 

opinion of this appraiser that there has been stable in market value over the past twelve months. This is also supported by conversations with local assessors 

and agents active in the area. Typical exposure and marketing time for a home similar to the subject is under 3 months. The local Realcomp MLS survey utilized 

for this report does not provide number of listings for prior periods; therefore, it was noted as N/A for the designated shaded areas.

Realcomp MLS with specific information being: sales from the past twelve months from the effective date of this appraisal 

report, within five miles of the subject, and similar in location, year built, design (style), size, condition and quality.

According to a local Realcomp MLS survey, there were a total of 27 sales within the subject's market, 2 or 1% of which sold as REO or short sales.

X

Seller concessions in the area range from 2% - 6% of the sale price and typically assist with paying the purchaser's closing cost.

Re: Appeal of Assessment 

32781 West Eleven Mile Road 

Tax ID No: 23-22-126-064 

Honorable Board Members: 

On behalf of my client, the Daniel S. Carlson Business Trust, the owner of the above property, I 

am appealing the 2025 assessment of that property. 

The property has been assessed at $568,580, indicating an estimated true cash value of 

$1,137,160. The property owner recently paid $900,000 for this property and there is no good 

reason to believe it has a higher value than its recent selling price. According to the MLS, the 

property was on the market for 77 days, ample exposure to the market to indicate the limited de- 

mand for this property. (copy attached). The property was listed for $950,000 and, as noted, fi- 

nally sold at $900,000, substantially below the value indicated by the assessment. In fact, the 

property has been on the market from time to time over the last few years, at higher prices and 

with no takers. In November of 2023, it was listed for $1,590,000 and withdrawn when it didn’t 

sell. (See attached listing) It was listed again in March of 2024 for $1,500,000 and again did not 

sell. In August of 2024, it was listed yet again, this time at $999,000 and again withdrawn when 

it did not sell. (See attached listing). 

As noted above, the property was listed once again in October, 2024 for a price of $950,000 and 

this time was sold to the Petitioner for $900,000. My client’s purchase was at arms length and, 

given the history of the prior owner’s attempts to sell, would appear to represent the upper end of 

the value of this property. 

Don’t be misled by the square footage of the residence. This building was originally a standard 

ranch house, built in 1954 according to City records, to which a large addition was later attached. 

The addition was large, but was not likely to enhance the value of the house as a single family 

residence. A sketch of the property, taken from the assessor’s records, reflects that the addition 

consists primarily of a large hall and gathering space, providing the then-owner with walls to 

hang his many hunting trophies, (i.e., animal heads), room to walk through and look at them, and 

a gathering space at one end to serve food and drinks to those guests. The room at the left bottom 

of the sketch, which says ‘1983, is a large open room (doors on three sides), with a large fire- 

place in the middle with three separate openings. You can see the addition just above that room 

on the sketch, and the walkway with 17 foot wide openings on each side to the lower level. Be-

cause of the institutional nature of the addition, the owner eventually donated the property to Fer- 

tis State University. Evidently that didn’t pan out for them, because the property was soon sold 

to a private party who also seemed unable to find a reasonable use for it and put it on the market. 

Despite the square footage of this house, what is there is a house with a small kitchen, and four 

bedrooms, two of them much separated from the other two, and a great deal of space to heat, 

cool, light, and otherwise maintain. The costs of operating the house are excessive for a house 

serving a family of five; monthly electric costs have been between $500 and $650 per month. 

Gas costs have been $300-500 per month. Obviously the large yard is very nice, although again 

coming with a high price to maintain. I think this is what is known as functional obsolescence; 

the extraordinary costs of maintaining the excessive and less than useful space in the house 

means that the extra space detracts from the value of the property rather than increases it. 

It seems foolish to look at sales of other houses in an attempt to value this one. Nothing out 

there, in my experience, is remotely comparable. 

All of this is to say that the $900,000 paid for this property by my client seems likely to be the 

top of the market for it. Since the value which should be reflected by the assessment is the price 

at which a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree, or the “usual selling price”, the assess- 

ment should be reduced to reflect a true cash value not in excess of the recent selling price of 

$900,000 or lower, given the truly limited market for a house such as this, and this house in par- 

ticular as shown by the multi-year effort to sell it at steeply declining listing prices. 

Thank you for your consideration. 

Sincerely, 

John A. Carlson (P27410)
