Property Tax Assessment Appeal Property Address: 2163 Craigend Lane Lake Orion, MI 48362 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally appeal the 2026 assessed valuation for the property located at 2163 Craigend Lane, Lake Orion, MI 48362; Property ID: O -09-04-301-032 & Initial Petition Number: M26-40. Requesting the property’s taxable value be re-assessed to $275,000. I purchased the property in August 2025 for $550,000. At the time of purchase, the home had been listed on the market for over 5 months without selling (13FEB2025-30JUL2025), which indicates that the final purchase price reflected market resistance and the fair market value under prevailing conditions. Therefore, the sale price should be considered strong evidence of the property’s true value, this was not a distress sale. This is my primary and only residence. The property’s taxable value increased from $269,240 to $330,510, representing a value of $661,020, more the $100,000 over market value. I respectfully request that the assessment be reconsidered as this increase does not appear to accurately reflect the property's true market value or the circumstances of its sale as $550,000 or $275,000 assessed valuation. I have included: • Closing statement from the August 2025 purchase • Comparable homes recently sold within the subdivision o The comparable homes are all are custom built, with cathedral ceilings and finished basements o My home is builder base, unfinished basement and standard ceilings • Notice of Assessment • Lake Orion – 2026 March Board of Review Decision Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Kelly Pietras 2163 Craigend Lane Lake Orion, MI 48362 +1(248)586-7033 / pietraskelly@gmail.com
