STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR Please Explain Your Answer to this Appeal: Property is assessed @ 50% of market value. Taxable value is calculated correctly with basement finish and bathroom added as new/additions, not previously assessed and valued with estimated depreciation equal to the home depreciation. Clerical review completed 2025 which discovered real tangible omitted property, could not determine when improvement was completed. Fenton Township policy under clerical review, omitted property discovered not on previous assessment roll is added as new and additions w depreciation of home for review year and moves forward as property owners are notified on the Assessment Change Notice for that up coming year in February. However, an assessor also has the option under a 154 petition to the State Tax Commission to add for current year and 2 years preceding. Fenton Township feels the policy of adding and moving forward is the fair option for the resident but retains the option to file the 154 petition. The sales review conducted in 2022 was for a calculation error of the 2 story portion of the home. The field inspector that conducted the review is no longer with the Township of Fenton and notes on record card indicate the square foot correction was a calculation error placed on the home when the home was constructed ( 1,068 s.f to 996 s.f). Without the field inspector employed with the Township I cannot verify how the information of error was brought to the Township's attention and can only assume no walk thru of the home was conducted or the basement finish would have been discovered at that time. It is the responsibility of the Assessing office to account for all property improvements in the Township. New/Additions for the newly discovered basement finish and bathroom (depreciated) was added to subject property legally and correctly after discovery as this improvement was not on the previous years assessment roll and record card. Jurisdictional Issues: IF PETITIONER IS APPEALING THE TRUE CASH AND/OR TAXABLE VALUES: Did Petitioner protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review Petitioner attended: March If No, was the Notice of Assessment properly sent to Petitioner prior to the March Board of Review? *Submit a copy of the Notice of Assessment with the Answer.

Was the assessment(s) at issue established as the result of a clerical error or mutual mistake of fact? No If yes, please explain Is Petitioner appealing from a State Tax Commission Order? No If yes, when was it issued?
