STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 Our taxable value is over-inflated with lack of supporting home prices to justify it. Our home was built in 2023 by a builder for $454,000. The land cost $115,000. This represents an arm's length transaction completed in the open market. There is no evidence to support that our property would sell for more than $300,000 of its verified total cost. I provided comparable and recent sales to the township board of review, suggesting our home would sell for $690,000, and they denied our appeal. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: March If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Year(s) Under Appeal: 1 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 580300607280 Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 401500 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 393919 What do you believe is the fair market value? 690000 Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here.
