December 23, 2025 To Whom it May Concern, I received the letter of denial for the Veteran’s Property Tax Exemption on 10/22/25, citing the person requesting the exemption is not the owner and not qualified for veteran status. This was surprising to me because my exemption requests in previous years were always approved with proper documentation, including four years since my husband’s passing. I completed the affidavit and successfully transferred the property into my name as required. I created an account on the Michigan Tax Tribunal website as the letter requested and attempted to upload my documentation. However, the system only allowed me to attach one document to the petition and whenever I attempted to submit it, I was immediately logged out and inconsistently allowed to log back in. This cycle continued until I spoke with a representative at the Tribunal who informed me of the option to mail in my documentation. Since my deadline to appeal was close, I shipped my documents express via USPS to ensure a timely arrival. My receipt is attached. Despite my efforts, all of my documents were sent back with another denial letter from the Tribunal. After seeking more guidance from a Tribunal representative, I was able to properly submit a petition and supporting documentation. Please take this into consideration while making a decision on this case. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, Virginia Dees
