Yes, in 2025 there has been improvements to the property,a garage was built 

. Please keep in mind that this building is not habital 

space, not heated, not insulated or finished At the time of the assesment ,it was based on 80% completion, Per Julie Tatro the 

assessor for Garrish TWP. The increase has been over valued even at 80% completed. At the Board of review, the board had 

encouraged me to approach Ms Tatro however she would not listen or even take into consiredation of trying to come to a common 

resolve . The incease fo the summer taxes are .08 % less than the total taxes paid for the year of 2025 .New summer taxes 2026 = 

$2415.20 

, total taxes paid in 2025 = $2621.00. This is a 59.1% increase in the summer taxes ALONE .Thats not including a winter 

tax for the same year to come.
