MICHIGAN TAX T 

2070 Cartier, Flint, MI 48504 

Petitioner: Danish Cooper Retirement LLC 

Agent —Joen Bodtker 

History: 

The property was purchased on the open market for $48,700 on Jan 26, 2024. 

MLS #: 50131097 

) 

Seller’s realtor: Katie White, Katie White Real Estate Group 

Buyer’s realtor: Alyssa Pillsbury, Crown Realty 

The City of Flint assessed the property at $49,500. This infers a market value of $99,000. 

Grievance: 

The petitioner maintains the selling price on the open market is the market value. Given the 

condition of the property; it is considered a fair valuation for that location and time. The 

"petitioner contends the assessed value should be no more than $25,000 at the time of 

purchase. 

’ 

Argument: 

The property was acquired to be used as a rental. To bring it up to a condition that would 

attract good citizens, $22,500 in repairs were made. The total cost to acquire and prepare 

the property is $71,200. The petitioner asserts the property would have been worth no 

more than $70,000 if the repairs weren't needed. The property is now registered with the 

City as a rental and has passed rental inspection. 

Comparisons 

When considering the condition and size of the house, the assessor’s calculation appears 

to be overestimated. This comparison applies after the repairs were made to 2070 Cartier.

Of the above listed comparison properties, 817 Frank is closest in sales price and condition 

but it has an additional bedroom. 2524 Thomas was in superior condition compared to 

2070 Cartier. 2453 Norbert is also in superior condition and has more living space. 

Conclusion: 

The assessor’s office based it’s ruling on the sales prices of “similar” properties in the area. 

Comparing homes sold in the area of like condition from the prior 12 months, the $70,000 

market value is supported only after repairs were made. Given the condition of 2070 

Cartier at purchase and adding the abnormal repairs, the petitioner maintains the 

assessed value in the first quarter of 2024 should not exceed $32,000. The market value of 

2070 Cartier should be no more than $64,000.
