STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING ORLENE HAWKS DIRECTOR The MBOR reduced the percent functional from 100% to 70% for this building to take into account the sloping auditorium floor of the main church room. Following Sales is illegal in Michigan, the sale price was not considered for the Assessed or Taxable values. The Township Sales Study was used to come up with Township ECF's and land values, Grant Township or other County sales were not included in the Township Sales Study, as the petitioner referred to as premium sales. As far as the other concerns of the property as in bathrooms, bedrooms, water damage, etc. all fall under "repair and maintenance" of the building when purchased. The location of the building was there when purchased along with the "neighbors" that were mentioned. As far as not receiving your Change Notice in February, the Town of Mohawk (and other towns in the Keweenaw) only has Post Office Boxes, no home delivery. Petitioner is required to give the correct mailing address to receive their notices/mailings/tax bills. Registered Deeds can be acquired at the Keweenaw County Courthouse, if one was required by the Post Office. In conclusion, the March BOR, gave the petitioner a 30% functional reduction for the church sloping floor. The Sale price was not considered as per "Following Sales" Bulletin of 19 of 1997. Also, I am questioning if this petition was "timely filed"? There is no "date stamp" on the petition and no "postmarked" envelope included with the petition. It states on the MTT website it was downloaded on July 31st, but I did not receive a "Notice of Docket Number" until October 2nd. So I checked for a "Date Stamp" or "postmarked envelope" and there is neither on this petition. Section 5: Jurisdictional Issues IF PETITIONER IS APPEALING THE TRUE CASH AND/OR TAXABLE VALUES Did Petitioner protest the assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)? Yes If yes, check which BOR Petitioner attended: March If no, was the Notice of Assessment properly sent to Petitioner prior to the March BOR? March*Submit a copy of the Notice of Assessment with the Answer. If the July or December BOR revised the assessment(s) at issue, did it have authority? If yes, cite the Board’s authority. Was the assessment(s) at issue established as the result of a clerical error or mutual mistake of fact? No If yes, explain. Is Petitioner appealing from a State Tax Commission Order? If so, what is the issue date? MI IF PETITIONER IS APPEALING THE UNCAPPING OF TAXABLE VALUE When was the Notice of Uncapping, if applicable, issued? The Change Notices were mailed out in February prior to the March BOR. Under what statutory section was the Taxable Value uncapped? The Change Notices were mailed out in February prior to the March BOR. The Change Notices were mailed out in February prior to the March BOR. IF PETITIONER IS APPEALING THE DENIAL OF A POVERTY EXEMPTION Did Petitioner request a Poverty Exemption at a BOR?
