Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal
To the Michigan Tax Tribunal,
'm writing to request a retroactive Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) for my home at 552G Crabtree rd.
1 purchased the home in September 2019 and have lived in it full time ever since. it has always been my primary residence and has never been used as a rental or
second home.
At the time | bought the house, 1 wasn't aware that | needed to file a separate PRE form.
| relied on my reaitor and loan team during the process, and this
requirement was never brought to my attention. Because of that,
[ didn’t realize anything was missing until much later.
Since then, I've seen my property taxes increase significantly compared ta what they would have been with the PRE In place. As soon as
| became aware of the
issue,
| took steps to correct it.
¥'m asking that you consider this as good cause to allow the PRE to be applied retroactively. I've consistently lived in the home as my primary residence since 2019,
and my intent has always been to claim it as such.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Sincerely,
Dirk Greene
