Sn~ntinn RB: Fynlain the Reason for this Appeal
309 E. Potter Street (48910) is a Red Tagged property, which
means it is in an unlivable condition.
In addition to the taxes,
I pay $165.00each month until the house is reinspected and
the Red Tag statusis removed.
I' purchased the property for $19,500 at that time it had a Final
Taxable value of $20,590. For the 2025 year the review board
has raised this Red Tagged house to $32,400 which is an
57% increase—an exorbitant amount.
(See attached: 2025 BOR Decision.)
