Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

We believe the Assessed Value is being stated far above Market Value. Enclosed is a 

recent appraisal (03/07/2024) showing the MV to be $400,000, which at a per acre 

value of around $60,000 for unimproved land, seems fair and correct even in our own 

investigations. Also enclosed is an appraisal done in 2020 and the result was $300,000. 

This is why we asked for the AV to be somewhere in between the two appraisals, or 

$350,000. Please also note that the land only has a very small buildable site due to 

Critical Dunes restrictions. Furthermore, the AV in 2023 was $259,500 —much more in 

line with the MV our assessors were stating both in 2020 and in 2024. The township 

assessor inexplicably increased the market value in 2024 by $693,800. Even though the 

township Board of Review has agreed to adjust their AV from $953,300 to $750,000, 

this amount is still wildly overstated at about 2x what we believe to be an honest and 

true assessment of market value. We have no obvious explanation for this apparent 

overreach by their assessor, but it is so clearly out of touch with the market so are 

appealing here in the name of fairness and honesty. Thank you.

$25.00 will be added for each additional parce! being appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000. 

If your property is residential property (see MCL 206.762) and

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

assumptions and limiting conditions, and certifications. The appraiser may expand the scope of work to include any additional 

research or analysis necessary based on the complexity of this appraisal assignment. 

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 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. 

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 sate, 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 aliowed for exposure in the open market; (4) payment 

is made in terms of cash in U. 8. dolfars 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 institutionat 

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 dolfar 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 

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

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

2. 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 appraisat 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. 

3. 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. 

4. The appraiser has noted in this appraisal report any adverse conditions (such as 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 deficiencies or adverse conditions of the property {such as, but not fimited to, 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.

SCOPE OF WORK 

Far this assignment the appraiser has inspected the subject site and the exterior of the comparables, cbtained information 

related to the subject and comparables from the City of Bridgman, Lake Township, Lincoln Township, Chikaming Township, 

and other municipalities up and down the shoreline of Lake Michigan. 

1 have also driven the area around the subject to gain 

insight info the neighborhood influences which may affect the property. Data necessary in the valuation approaches deemed 

applicable has been researched from Greater Bridgman/Sawyer/New Buffalo, verified, adjusted, and reconciled into 

indications of value. The individuat value indications have been reconciled to determine the final estimate of market value. 

NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION 

The subject property is located within a private development known as Wildwood. The neighborhood is situated along Lake 

Michigan with private, gravel roads and a densely wooded, rolling topography. The subject has a +/- $1700 per year 

association fee which covers road maintenance, association beach maintenance, etc. There are rarely any assessments in 

the project with road maintenance and maintenance of the beach and walking paths being the only necessary cause for an 

assessment. The development is located north of the City of Bridgman in Lake Township and is comprised of a variety of 

ages and styles of structures situated in a wooded, dune setting along Lake Michigan. Wildwood has two association access 

points on the north and south ends of the developments with private access for lakefront property owners in between. This 

neighborhood still features a wide, sandy beach along Lake Michigan and is appealing to potential buyers given this factor. 

Many similar developments along the take (i.e. Grand Beach, Forest Beach, efc.) no tonger feature beaches given the high 

water levels of Lake Michigan. 

MARKET CONDITIONS 

**0n March 11th 2020, the WHO (World Health Organization) declared coronavirus (Covid-18) a giobal outbreak pandemic. 

The market has been active over the past 48 months since the anset of the pandemic. The market has improved with median 

sale prices increasing significantly over the past 4 years as demand has exceeded supply since the middie of 2020. 

inventory of lake influenced sites remains low with few available, 

It appears the market has stabilized after a tengthy period of 

increasing median sale prices in this lakefront area. Property values have been stable over the past 12 months but very few 

sales have occurred as inventory remains low. 

SUBJECT SITE DESCRIPTION AND LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS 

The subject site is in a wooded dune setting near the shoreline of Lake Michigan. The property features a severely rolling 

topagraphy and although the site is 7.48 acres in size only a small portion of the site is buildable. According to the property 

owner they have been working for 7 years or so to establish a building spot on the property that would be approved by the 

State of Michigan Department of Environmental, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). The development of the property for a 

building site has been challenging given its topography. The property is situated within a critical dunes designation 

(designated by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy). The critical dunes area designation 

requires a permit for any changes being made to the area that would significantly alter the critical dune area. The permitis 

based upon a law established under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Sand Dunes Protection and 

Management). There is an application process to obtain a permit from the Michigan Department of EGLE for any sort of 

development, The subject property does have a permit in place for a single-family residence with a footprint of 2,620 sfand a 

detached garage with a footprint of 480 sf. The permit was recently issued (03/05/2024) after many years of planning and 

revising different plans. 

| have not been provided with a survey of the property (I have attached the original plat map from the 

State of Michigan as well as a GIS map) and the site size reported throughout this report is based upon review of the Berrien 

County GIS mapping system and that reported in Lake Charter Township assessment records. The subject site measures +- 

7.48 acres in size. The site offers a seasonal view of Lake Michigan (through trees during the late fall/winter/early Spring) and 

the association access to the beach is almost directly across the street from the site. The beach area is shared with other 

members of the Wildwood Association. Lots in the Wildwood Association are targer than most properties in the area, 

however, the topography of the sites have significantly more contour and development 

is considerably more difficult than 

those on an typical lot along Lake Michigan. 

SALES COMPARISON ANALYSIS 

1 searched for comparable properties situated near the shoreline of Lake Michigan from the Michigan/Indiana state line up to 

South Haven. The subject parcel is unique given the large size of the parcel as well as the severely stoping topography of the 

site. Although the site measures +/- 7.48 acres in size only a small portion has typical utility and given the location in a critical 

dunes designated area the development is extremely challenging and limited to a very small portion of the property. 

Development costs are significantly higher than a level site that is ready for development. Few parcels are available along the 

lakeshore and the majority of those which have sold in recent years were ready for development or were mostly level sites 

with little to no issues for development. The subject is situated near an association beach and offers a seasonal view of Lake 

Michigan through the densely wooded area between the home and the lake. 

1 attempted to find sales of similar properties, 

however, very few were found. The majority of sales are much smaller sites, however, given the severely sloping topography 

of the subject site and the limited usable area these are the most similar sales available. Properties in Wildwood cannot 

necessarily be valued on a per acre basis as all feature considerable surplus land with little to no contributory value and the 

primary value of the properties is in the ability for a reasonably sized building footprint as well as the access to a wide, sandy 

association beach. The sales included in the analysis represent a varlety of locations, sizes, and topographies but are the

This property features a mostly level building site and offers a better view of Lake Michigan given the lack of dense woods 

between the site and the lake. The site is much smaller than the subject but appears to offer more usable area and a large 

building envelope. Comparable #4 is a nearby sale in the Woodland Shores Association within the City of Bridgman. This 

site features a similar topography to the subject, being a sioping site on a wooded dune, but offers far less land area. 

In 

addition, the site is situated further from association beach access and does not offer a seasonal view of the lake. 

Comparable #5 is a large, wooded homesite in the nearby community of Harbert. This property offers deeded access to 

association beach along Lake Michigan. The site is smaller than the subject but has supertor utility given its generally level 

topography. The location is reasonably similar and this sale has been included for additional support. The property was used 

in a paired sale analysis with Comparable #2 in the analysis to determine site size and topography adjustments. 

{ also considered the recent sale of another property in Wildwood Association, a few tots from the subject, but this property is 

a beachfront property with a full, panoramic view of Lake Michigan and given its setting along the association beach and view 

of the fake 

1 did not feel this was a reasonable comparable to the subject. 

Lot 16 in Wildwood sold for $1,925,000 on 

09/13/2023. This is a beachfront property with +/- 290 feet of frontage on the association beach and a year round view of 

Lake Michigan. 

Some site improvements have been completed on the subject site with a driveway from Oak Ln up to the future building area, 

some tree clearing has been completed, etc. These improvements have some contributory value, especially to a property ina 

similar densely wooded dune setting. Adjustments have been applied to the comparable properties to reflect this factor. 

Lesser adjustments have been applied to sites with level topographies as these sites have tower development costs, 

Overall, the comparabie data is considered fair to average with few truly simitar sales found. Comparables #1 and #2 are 

most similar and assigned primary consideration in the final reconciliation of value as these are the most similar sales found. 

Time adjustments utilized in the analysis are reflective of paired sales analyses of recent and historical land sales in the 

marketplace. A rate of 26% was used for those sales which occurred prior to 2022. The prices appear to have stabilized 

somewhat in 2022-2023 as interest rates Increased. The subject site features a significant amount of surplus land area. This 

additional land area has little contributory value due to its fimited utility. The primary value in the subject site is based upon its 

location near the shore of Lake Michigan and the seasonal view of the Jake. The site cannot be split into muttiple parcels and 

is a singular building site. As previously discussed, properties in Witdwood are difficult to value on a per acre basis as 

although the sites are larger than most they each have limited usable area due to the severely sloping terrain. The site 

size/view adjustments applied factor in both the overall site size and view offered from each property. A $50,000 adjustment 

was used for a seasonal view with a $100,000 adjustment for a fult view. Acreage adjustments vary with most adjusted at a 

rate of $15,000 per acre. This has been reduced from a typical per acre adjustment given the limited utility of the subject site 

due to its topography. Adjustments applied are based upon paired sales analyses of properties in the subject neighborhood 

compared to those in the locations of the comparable properties.

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

under ali 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 

welt Informed or well advised, and each acting In what they consider thelr own best interests; (3) a reasonable time is alowed 

for exposure In the open market; (4) payment is made in terms of cash in 1.8. 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. (Source: FDIC Interagency Appraisal and 

Evaluation Guldelines, 2010.) 

+ Adjustments to the comparables must be made for special or creative financing of sales concessions. No 

adjustments are necessary for those costs which are normaly pald by sellers as a result of tradition or law In a 

market area; these costs are readily identiflable since the seller pays these costs In vidually 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 caleulated on a mechanical dollar for dollar cost of the financing of concession but the 

dofiar amount of any adjustment should approximate the market's reaction to the financing or concesslons based 

an the appraiser's fudgment.

Guidance regarding Form 1019, 

Notice of Assessment, Taxable Valuation, and Property Classification 

Not less than 14 days before the first meeting of the Board of Review, the assessment notice shall be mailed to the 

property owner. 

Property taxes are calculated based on the Taxable Value (Line 1). State Equalized Value is the Assessed Value multiplied 

by the Equalization Factor, if any. State Equalized Value must approximate 50% of market value. 

The Taxable Value number entered in the "Change from Prior Year to Current Year” Column, does not indicate a change in 

your taxes. The change in your tax bill is estimated above Line 1. 

State Equalized Value is the Assessed Value multiplied by the Equalization Factor, if any. State Equalized Value must 

approximate 50% of market value. 

IF THERE WAS A TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP on your property in 2023, your 2024 Taxable Value will be the same as 

your 2024 State Equalized Value. 

IF THERE WAS NOT A TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP on your property in 2023, your 2024 Taxable Value is calculated 

by multiplying your 2023 Taxable Value by 1.05 (Inflation Rate Multiplier for the current year). Physical changes in your 

property may also increase or decrease your Taxable Value. Your 2024 Taxable Value cannot be higher than your 2024 

State Equalized Value, 

The Taxable Value, the Assessed Value, the State Equalized Value, the Property Classification, or the Transfer of 

Ownership may be appealed by filing a protest with the Local Board of Review. Protests are made to the Board of 

Review by completing a Board of Review Petition Form. A Petition Form may be obtained directly from the local 

unit or from the Michigan Department of Treasury’s website at www.michigan.govitaxes. Click on the “Property 

Taxes” box, select “Forms and Instructions,” then click on “Board of Review” to obtain a “Petition to the Board 

of Review,” Form 618 (L-4035). 

The denial of an exemption from the local school operating tax for “qualified agricultural properties” may be appealed to 

the local Board of Review. The denial of an exemption from the local school operating tax for a “homeowner's principal 

residence” may be appealed to the Michigan Tax Tribunal by the filing of a petition within 35 days of issuance of this 

notice. The petition must be a form approved by the Michigan Tax Tribunal, which are available at www.michigan.gov/ 

taxtrib. 

Filing a protest with the Board of Review is necessary to protect your right to further appeal valuation and exemption 

disputes to the Michigan Tax Tribunal and classification appeals to the State Tax Commission. Properties classified 

Commercial Real, Industrial Real or Developmental Real may be appealed to the regular March Board of Review or to the 

Michigan Tax Tribunal by filing a petition by May 31. Commercial Personal, Industrial Personal, or Utility Personal Property 

may be appealed to the regular March Board of Review or to the Michigan Tax Tribunal by filing a petition by May 31 if a 

personal property statement was filed with the local unit prior to the commencement of the Board of Review as provided 

by MCL 211.19, except as otherwise provided by MCL 211.9m, 211.9n and 211.90. The petition must be a form approved 

by the Michigan Tax Tribunal, which are available at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. 

To claim a PRE, complete the “Principal Residence Exemption Affidavit” (Form 2368) and file it with your township or 

city of the year of the claim. A valid affidavit filed on or before June 1 allows an owner to receive a PRE on the current 

year summer and winter tax levy and subsequent tax levies so long as it remains the owner's principal residence. A valid 

affidavit filed after June 

1 and on or before November 1 allows an owner to receive a PRE on the current winter tax levy 

and subsequent tax levies so long as it remains the owner's principal residence.
