BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR Section 4: Check which of the following you are appealing (check aii that apply) True Cash and Taxable Value [0 Taxable Value Only (calculation) [J Uncapping of Taxable Value Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal Even after the City lowered my property's value to $146,200, the assessment still assumes my condo is in a well maintained, stable building, which is not the case. The building suffers from ongoing disrepair and an inattentive HOA/property manager, which directly impacts buyer interest and resale value. Recent one bedroom condo sales near 7409 2nd Ave show prices in a narrow range, and units burdened by building condition or HOA issues typically sell at the lower end of that range. A knowledgeable buyer would reasonably pay less than the current assessment due to these real world risks. For these reasons, the revised value remains higher than what my property would actually sell for in today's market. Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)? Yes [=] No If Yes, check which BOR you attended: March [0] July OJ December If No, please check the applicable reason(s): O Not required to attend O Appealing a purported Clerical Error or Mutual Mistake of Fact (if yes, include explanation in Section 5) [x] Appealing within 35 days of State Tax Commission Order Od Appealing within 35 days of receipt of Notice of Uncapping [1 other
