Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal
The Subject Property is classified as Residential. Therefore, more than 50% of the Subject's acreage must be devoted to agricultural use to qualify for the Qualified
Agricultural Exemption ("QAE") under MCL 211.7dd and 211.7ee. Respondent contends that less than 50% of the Subject Property is used for agricultural
purposes and, therefore, the Subject Property is not primarily devoted to agricultural use sufficient for exemption.
Respondent contends that the 2025 assessment was accurate and properly determined under Michigan law. Respondent requests that Petitioner's claim for
exemption be denied.
