[@ True Cash and Taxable Value

[O Eligible Manufacturing Personal Property (ESA) 

[7] Exemption from Taxation (other than the denial of a

Principal Residence or Qualified Agricuitural Exemption) 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

in 2025 our assessed value and taxable value both = 213,500. We received our 2026 Notice of Assessment, Taxable Valuation, and Property 

Classification with the following tentative changes: 

+ Tentative taxable value increase from 213,500 to 219,264; an increase of 2.70% or 5,764). 

« Tentative assessed value from 213,500 to 265,300; an increase of 24.26% or 51,800 (with an assessor change reason 

"market adjustment”) 

A meeting with the Township Board resulted in a review decision to adjust the 2026 tentative assessed value. Increasing from the 2025 

amount of 213,500 to 245,300; an increase of 14.89% or 31,800. 

This assessed value suggests fair market value of our property at $490,600. The tentative assessed value increase of 14.89% is over inflated 

and excessive. The change reason of market adjustment is not supported by actual sales data of similar properties in our zip code or in 

Genesee County. 

See attached documentation of property sales within our zip code and within Genesee County. In our zip code, our property remains the 

highest sale price of properties that are somewhat comparable at $411,000 (the second highest being at $360,000). 

In Genesee County, our property remains the third highest sale price with homes that are somewhat comparable. The two homes in Genesee 

County that sold for a higher price have substantially more acreage and massive outbuilding/pole barns (which we do not have). 

Other considerations and support that the tentative assessed value is inflated: 

+ We have only owned our property since March 26, 2024. In such a short time, the taxable value and assessed value should be more aligned. 

+ The average home value in Michigan has increased by about 3.4% to 3.8% over the past year, depending on the data source and timeframe. 

+ Zillow reports the average Michigan home value at $254,230, up 3.8% year-over-year through February 28, 2026 Zillow. 

« Redfin shows a slightly lower but still positive change: $259,900 median sale price, up 3.4% in February 2026 Redfin. 

« Other market summaries note similar growth rates citing 3.0% to 3.4% increases in 2025-2026 Norada Real Estate Investments+1.
