Whether Petitioner is also a party in interest is a legal conclusion to which no response is required. To the extent that a response is required, Respondent states that it is without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as to that allegation, and leaves Petitioner to its proofs. 3. Respondent, Crystal Lake Township, assesses, levies and collects the property taxes on the Property. Respondent Benzie County collects “delinquent” property taxes on the Property.

The property is located in Benzie County and is located with the Frankfort Area Public School District. ANSWER: Respondent admits the allegations contained in paragraph 4. 5. The Property is classified as 401 (residential-improved real property). ANSWER: Respondent admits the allegations contained in paragraph 5. 6. The Property was originally constructed to be used as a place for family and friends to gather and reside, and it is currently used for the same purpose.

ANSWER: Respondent admits the allegations contained in paragraph 8 of the Petition. 9. On or about September 4, 2024, Respondent Benzie County sent the attached letter to Petitioner notifying it that Respondent Crystal Lake Township had retroactively uncapped the Property for tax years 2012 through 2023. See Exhibit 1. The letter included an invoice for “DELINQUENT TAXES DUE.” Id. ANSWER: Respondent admits that the letter attached to the Petition as Exhibit 1 is dated September 4, 2024. Regarding Petitioner’s description of the contents of the letter, Respondent states that the letter speaks for itself. 10. This letter is the first notice that Petitioner received regarding the purported uncapping of the Property for the tax years at issue. This appeal has been filed within thirty-five (35) days of Respondents’ letter and is timely under MCL 205.735(a)(6). ANSWER: Respondent lacks sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as to the truth of when Petitioner first received notice of the uncapping. Respondent denies that the County’s September 4, 2024 letter was the first notice provided to Petitioner regarding the uncapping. On August 23, 2024, Respondent, Crystal Lake Township, sent a Notice of Uncapping to Petitioner advising that Petitioner must appeal the Uncapping Notice within 35 days of August 23, 2024. That Notice of Uncapping is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Petitioner’s statement that this appeal is filed timely is a legal conclusion to which no answer is required. To the extent that an answer is required, Respondent denies the allegation. 11. The original taxable and assessed values for the Property established by Respondent are as follows: Tax Year Original Taxable Value Assessed Value 2012 $455,138 $821,500 2013 $466,061 $855,300 2014 $473,517 $918,000 2015 $481,093 $890,300 2016 $482,536 $770,800 2017 $486,878 $760,500 2018 $497,102 $744,500 2019 $509,032 $888,400 2020 $518,703 $872,300 2021 $525,964 $938,600 2022 $543,320 $1,585,800 2023 $570,486 $1,596,400 ANSWER: Respondent admits the allegations contained in paragraph 11 of the Petition.

12. The revised taxable values as recently established by Respondents are as follows: Tax Year Revised Taxable Value 2012 $821,500 2013 $841,216 2014 $854,675 2015 $868,350 2016 $770,800 2017 $760,500 2018 $744,500 2019 $762,368 2020 $776,853 2021 $797,729 2022 $813,724 2023 $854,410 ANSWER: Respondent Crystal Lake Township denies that the Revised Taxable Value for the 2021 tax year was $797,729 as, per the applicable inflation rate multiplier, the Revised Taxable Value was determined to be $787,729. Respondent admits the remaining allegations contained in paragraph 12 of the Petition. See Uncapping Notice, Exhibit 1. 13. The total taxable value in dispute is $3,656,795 cumulatively, distributed amongst the pertinent tax years as follows: Tax Year Original Taxable Value Revised Taxable Value Taxable Value in Dispute 2012 $455,138 $821,500 $366,362 2013 $466,061 $841,216 $375,155 2014 $473,517 $854,675 $381,158 2015 $481,093 $868,350 $387,257 2016 $482,536 $770,800 $288,264 2017 $486,878 $760,500 $273,622 2018 $497,102 $744,500 $247,398 2019 $509,032 $762,368 $253,336 2020 $518,703 $776,853 $258,150 2021 $525,964 $797,729 $271,765 2022 $543,320 $813,724 $270,404 2023 $570,486 $854,410 $283,924 ANSWER: Respondent denies Petitioner’s calculation of the taxable value in dispute for the 2021 tax year for the reasons stated above in response to Petitioner’s paragraph 12 but admits the remaining allegations of paragraph 13.
Page 5
14. Despite Respondents' recent recalculation of the Property's taxable values, there was no transfer of ownership under MCL 211.27a(6) and no other uncapping event in tax year 2012 (calendar year 2011) or in any other year that is subject to this appeal. Thus, Respondents' current effort to uncap the taxable values for the Property for tax years 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 violates Michigan law. ANSWER: Respondent denies Petitioner’s allegation that no transfer of ownership occurred in 2011 and denies that the uncapping violates Michigan law. See Quitclaim Deeds, attached hereto as Exhibit 2. 15. Indeed, the Property has been owned and controlled by the same family and its descendants for over 100 years (since approximately 1917). ANSWER: Respondent is without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as to the truth of the allegations of paragraph 15 of the Petition and, therefore, neither admits nor denies the allegations, but leaves Petitioner to its proofs. 16. Petitioner requests the reduction of the Property's taxable values to those identified as the Original Taxable Values in paragraphs 11 and 13 above. Petitioner further requests a refund with interest of taxes paid due to the original, incorrect assessment and any other relief this Tribunal deems appropriate. ANSWER: Respondent denies that Petitioner is entitled to the relief requested in paragraph 16 of the Petition. 17. The tax year 2012 through 2023 taxable values imposed on the Property, and the taxes to be levied and collected thereon, are invalid and unlawful and operate as fraud upon the taxpayer for the reason that the Property's taxable values exceed the amounts permitted by the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes. ANSWER: Respondent denies the allegation contained in paragraph 17 of the Petition for the reason that they are untrue. WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Tribunal grant the following relief: A. Reinstate the taxable values of the Property as follows: Tax Year Original Taxable Value 2012 $455,138 2013 $466,061 2014 $473,517 2015 $481,093

2016 $482,536 2017 $486,878 2018 $497,102 2019 $509,032 2020 $518,703 2021 $525,964 2022 $543,320 2023 $570,486 B. Provide such additional relief to Petitioner as this Tribunal shall deem appropriate. ANSWER: Respondent denies that Petitioner is entitled to the relief requested. AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES Respondent, Crystal Lake Township, by and through its attorneys, Foster, Swift, Collins & Smith, P.C., states as follows for its Affirmative Defenses: 1.

Page 7
incorrect. d. The Petitioner provides no factual basis to support the claim for different values. e. The Petition establishes no factual basis for relief. 5. Petitioner may not be a proper party-in-interest. MCR 2.116(C)(4), (5) and (8). 6. Petitioner may not have standing to appeal. MCR 2.116(C)(4), (5) and (8). 7. The Tribunal may lack subject matter jurisdiction over this appeal. MCR 2.116(C)(4) and (8). 8. Respondent has properly and lawfully assessed Petitioner’s property and established its taxable value in accordance with statutory and constitutional requirements. 9. Petitioner may have failed to file a Property Transfer Affidavit, as required by Michigan law. 10. Petitioner may have failed to file its Petition within 35 days of Respondent’s Notice of Uncapping, dated August 23, 2024, thus depriving the Tribunal of jurisdiction over this appeal. MCL 205.735a(6). 11. Respondent reserves the right to add additional affirmative defenses as they become known to it through discovery in this matter. WHEREFORE, Respondent requests that the Tribunal affirm the assessed and taxable values as determined by Respondent, dismiss the Petition, and award Respondent its costs and attorney fees and any other relief that the Tribunal determines is fair, just, and equitable.
