Please Explain Your Answer to this Appeal:

Sales Period for the 2026 valuation was from 4/1/2022 to 3/31/2025 Subject property sale was not included in this sales period as sale was 7/25/2025. Sales 

Study dates are statutorily required by the Michigan State Tax Commission using a look back 24 month period. Using the determined sales study dates and the 

mass appraisal approach to value with land studies and ECF studies found the parcel to be at 50% of market value for 2026. Assessor has reviewed the appraisal 

attached to petitioners petition and found it to be un reliable as 2 of the 3 comparables ( Comp 2 and Comp 3) sales used for appraisal valuation were not in 

Fenton Township and even out of Genesee County where the markets are different. Comp 4 and 5 were in the Township but appraiser used as reference not for 

valuation. Also the land adjustments for Lake access differ for a parcel out of the Township that only has a lake view with public access 26,200?? Comp 

adjustment used for lake access ingress / egress was 10,000. There are a number of sales to be used within the Township. Township has plenty of comparable 

sales within the time frame which should have been utilized. Different Lakes/Township's/Cities and County all have a different market. When sales are abundant 

the same sales market should be used for valuation.
