BROWN, DPA Trig STATE OF MICHIGAN GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check al that apply) True Cash and Taxable Value O Poverty Exemption [OJ Taxable Value Only (calculation) [J Disabled Veterans Exemption a Uncapping of Taxable Value [J Eligible Manufacturing Personal Property (ESA) [J Exemption from Taxation (other than the denlal of a [J Classification Principal Residence or Qualified Agricultural Exemption) Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal For the previous three years | have petitioned the BOR to not increase the SEV due to the "blight" condition of the property directly across the road, which developed about 2021 with a new owner with a long history of such activity. The first year they actually reduced the SEV slightly (even though | did not request that). The second year they left it as requested. The third year (2024) they denied the petition and increased the SEV $33,702. The blight condition has not improved at all. | have been dealing with Huron County Building and Zoning about enforcing the applicable ordinance(s)/code(s). The property owner has been cited/fined and told by the magistrate that he could be cited/fined daily. It has been a slow frustrating process with the County that | continue to work thru. The Twp Board has done nothing. The Township does not have any of its own ordinances. | tried to get an explanation from the BOR at their July 15th meeting which they chose to adjurn before | arrived although | had set up that | would attend before 10AM (| arrived at 9:45AM)with the Twp Supervisor (he is at their meetings) who informed me the meeting would go at least to 10AM due to the amount of work they had. They did not/do not schedule an ending time. | asked for an explanation, as they were all still there discussing their "assessing issues". The only answer they reluctantly offered was "they can't keep giving me a break forever". 2024 would have been the first year the taxable value would have had to be adjusted. They also have the opinion/attitude that the condition of surrounding property has no affect on a given property's value. Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues Year(s) you are appealing: 2024 Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)? [4] Yes |] No If Yes, check which BOR you attended AND attach the BOR decision: March [J July [J December If No, check the applicable reason(s): O Not required to attend Assessment Change Notice was not received by Petitioner 0 Appealing a purported Clerical Error or Mutual Mistake of Fact (if yes, include explanation in Section 6) (m} Appealing within 36 days of State Tax Commission Order 0 Appealing within 35 days of receipt of Notice of Unoapping
