RE: Property Tax Appeal Statement 

To the State of Tax Tribunal, 

I am respectfully submitting this appeal regarding my 2024 summer property tax 

assessment for my home in Troy. After careful consideration and research, I believe the 

current assessment exceeds the appropriate taxable value for my property. 

In support of my appeal, I have obtained a comparative market analysis conducted by a 

licensed realtor. This professional evaluation indicates that the median market value for 

comparable properties in my area is $676,000, which would correspond to a taxable value 

of $338,000 (50% of market value) according to state valuation guidelines. 

As a new resident to Troy and someone not originally from the United States, I was 

unfortunately unaware of the March Board of Review meeting where initial appeals are 

typically heard. My recent relocation and unfamiliarity with the local property tax appeal 

process resulted in missing this opportunity, which is why I am pursuing this small claim 

appeal. 

I respectfully request that the Tribunal review my assessment in light of the professional 

market analysis I've provided and adjust my property tax accordingly. I am happy to provide 

any additional documentation that may assist in your evaluation. 

Thank you for your consideration of this matter. I look forward to a fair resolution. 

Respectfully, 

Wenqing Ding
