BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR Section 4: Check which of the following you are appealing (check al that apply) True Cash and Taxable Value [0 Taxable Value Only (calculation) 0 Uncapping of Taxable Value Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal I purchased the property in question in June, 2025. It had been on the market for over 9 months listed at $865,000. It was being sold with all of its furnishing included. The property owners spent less than 6 weeks each year of ownership on the premises and therefore the exterior of the lot was poorly maintained. While the property had a full basement, it was unfinished. $10,000 was escrowed at closing to address the significant deficiencies found during the property inspection. If you take into account the value of the furnishing included and the fully depleted escrow funds, the purchase price was closer to $810,000.
