STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS MARLON I. BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR City or Town County State ZIP Code Oak Park Oakland Michigan 48237 Taxing Authority (City or Township) City Of Oak Park (OAKLAND) Check which of the following you are appealing: (check all that apply) Uncapping of Taxable Value Please Explain the Reason for this Appeal: Petitioner requests that the Tribunal correct the subject property’s taxable value for the 2026 tax year. The subject property is a multifamily income property. During 2024, Air Force veteran Tereal Wilson owned the subject property and operated it as a sole proprietorship. On June 28, 2024, Mr. Wilson conveyed the subject property to Petitioner Good Properties, LLC, which he organized and in which he is the only member. Accordingly, under the General Property Tax Act, Mr. Wilson’s conveyance to Good Properties, LLC, was not a “transfer of ownership.” Nevertheless, for the 2025 tax year, Respondent increased the subject property’s taxable value to equal its assessed value. That increase in the subject property’s taxable value continued into the 2026 tax year. Petitioner sought to have this corrected at the City of Oak Park 2026 March Board of Review, but it merely asserted that it lacked jurisdiction for 2025 without addressing the mistaken uncapping affecting the 2026 taxable value. Petitioner therefore requests that the Tribunal revise the subject property’s 2026 taxable value to the amount that it would have been absent the incorrect increase in the subject property’s taxable value based on the 2024 conveyance. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: March If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Year(s) Under Appeal: 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 25-31-276-074 Classification of Property: Real (check one) 2 of 3
