STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 My property at 6027 Hughes Rd in Lansing was bought as a property that needed work, particularly because it had a termite infestation that I've been working on remediating. The property was deeded from my sole-member LLC to my personal name and then back into my same sole-member LLC solely to satisfy some requirements from my lender between the end of 2024 & early 2025. I am, and have always been, the only member of the LLC and the only one who holds ownership interest in this property. Throughout the entire process, I am the only person who has held an ownership interest in this property. The property was transferred to my name in late 2024 and the taxes did not uncap for 2025. However, when I transferred the property back to my LLC in early 2025, the city is now trying to uncap my taxes for 2026. I am still the only owner of the property so this does not make sense, not to mention that I have transferred several properties to/from my LLC many times and never had this issue. As someone who owns multiple properties and always diligently pays her taxes, I find this to be an unjust and avaricious act from the city. In addition, I had first reached out about this tax uncapping issue to the City of Lansing assessing office in early March of 2026 and was told by the administrative assistant "I'll make sure the 6027 Hughes property gets corrected at the upcoming March Board of Review" via an email chain that I have and can provide. Then in June of 2026, I received a letter from the assessor that she will not change her decision. This, unfortunately, left me in a position where I was unable to present my case at all since I was previously told I didn't have to petition at the March Board of Review because it would be fixed as a mistake. So now I am reaching out to get assistance to correct this. Please help! Thank you for your time & consideration of my case!
