STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal The township incorrectly reduced our principal residence exemption from 100% to 6%, claiming commercial use. The same parcel has 115 acres that we use for our personal horses (we have 4 daughters that ride horses along with my wife) which carries much of the value of the parcel. The building we live in is shared with commercial use probably around 50% personal use, 50% commercial at the most, a big difference from only 6% personal as they indicate. Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues List the year(s) denied: 2026 Indicate who denied the exemption under appeal: Assessor If you checked “other” above, explain: List the date the Principal Residence Exemption or Qualified Agricultural Exemption was denied: 2026-04-27 Fee Information A fee of $25.00 is required for the filing of this appeal unless you possess a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% at the time of the filing of this petition.
