Box 30232 Lansing, MI 48909 Subject: Appeal of Assessed and Taxable Value — Parcel ID: 21014718 Dear Michigan Tax Tribunal, I am submitting this appeal to contest the uncapping of taxable value and the current assessed value of the property identified by Parcel ID 21014718, which I purchased through the city's Land Bank. This is the first time I have received a property tax notice for this parcel since acquiring it, and [ was surprised to see the taxable value set at $2,400. | respectfully believe this value does not accurately reflect the true condition of the property or the neighborhood. The property is located in a significantly distressed area with high vacancy, deteriorating infrastructure, and overall low market demand. Based on current neighborhood conditions and comparable vacant or blighted properties, I believe the fair market value of the property is no more than $500. Accordingly, the assessed value should be $250, and the taxable value should reflect the same. Additionally, I did not have the opportunity to present this appeal before the local Board of Review because I did not receive a prior notice of change or uncapping until now. [ am requesting that the Michigan Tax Tribunal review this case and adjust the assessed and
