MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL APPEAL PACKET STATEMENT OF PETITIONER I, Mary Hunter, am the owner of the property located at 30225 Shiawassee Rd, Farmington Hills, MI (Parcel ID: 22-23-26-456-016). | am appealing the 2026 assessed value of my property. The assessed value of $129,510 implies a market value of approximately $259,020. | believe this exceeds the true market value of my home. The property is a 1,326 square foot home builtin 1966 with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The home is in below-average condition and requires significant repairs and updates. Major issues include a leaking roof, outdated kitchen and bathrooms, basement cracks, no central air conditioning, and an aging furnace. The property sold in August 2024 for $210,000 in an arm’s-length transaction. This recent sale is the strongest indicator of market value. Based on the recent sale and the condition of the home, | believe the fair market value is between $200,000 and $210,000. | respectfully request that the Tribunal reduce the assessed value accordingly. Respectfully submitted, Mary Hunter
