MTT Docket No. 26-001405 

1. Property Parcel 

Property Parcel No.; 14-33-100-011 

Property Address: 3502 N Linden Rd, Flint, Michigan 48504 

County: Genesee County 

Property Type: Real property 

Property Classification shown on the 2026 tax bill: 202 - COMMERCIAL-VACANT 

Legal Description: 

W 198 FT OF N 264 FT OF NW 1/4 OF NW 1/4 SEC 33 TSN R6E 1.20 A 

2, Tax Year and Assessment Information 

Tax Year(s) Appealed: 2026 

The 2026 tax bill identifies a taxable value of $21,000, an SEV of $21,000, and an assessed value of $21,000. 

The assessment or assessments at issue were protested before the Respondents Board of Review on: March 

2026 

3. Statement of Facts 

1. Petitioner, Mohamed Mansour, is the owner and taxpayer identified for Parcel No, 14-33- 100-011. 

2. The property is located at 3502 N Linden Rd, Flint, Michigan 48504, and contains approximately 1.20 

acres. 

3. The 2026 tax record classifies the property as 202 — COMMERCIAL-VACANT. 

4. The 2026 tax record reports an assessed value and SEV of $21,000 and a taxable value of $21,000. 

8, Petitioner disputes the assessment and seeks review by the Michigan Tax Tribunal.

4. Grounds for Appeal 

These site-specific limitations materially affect the property's development potential and, consequently, its 

market value. Petitioner requests that the Tribunal consider these limitations and the attached engineering 

correspondence and GIS exhibits when determining the property's true cash value. 

Based on the drain and likely casement, floodplain, floodway, possible wetlands, and applicable setbacks, the 

engineer concludes that the site is a very difficult site to develop and that, after those factors are considered, 

there may be little or no buildable area. 

The correspondence also identifies possible wetlands covering most of the site based on the county GIS 

wetlands information. It notes that the online wetlands viewer is not sufficiently reliable to establish a final 

wetlands boundary and that a formal wetlands assessment would be required to determine whether wetlands 

are present and, if so, their boundaries. 

The engineer further states that the southwest corner of the site appears to be outside the floodplain, but that 

the buildable area would still be reduced by applicable setbacks. 

The site also contains a floodway and a 100-year floodplain. The engineer's correspondence states that the 

100-year floodplain covers over half of the site and that 

a maximum of 300 cubic yards of fill is normally 

allowed before compensating cut is required. 

The correspondence states that a county drain crosses the site diagonally and that the Drain Commissioner will 

typically have an easement centered on such a drain, restricting what can be done within the easement. 

Petitioner retained Daniel W. Bartlett, PE, CEM, Associate / Project Manager with ROWE Professional 

Setvices Company, to evaluate the site in connection with a proposed building project. Mr. Bartlett provided 

written correspondence regarding the site's development constraints. 

Petitioner contends that the assessment of the subject property does not reflect its true cash value because 

substantial physical and environmental conditions materially limit the property's usable area and development 

potential. 

Petitioner respectfully requests that the Tribunal consider the actual acquisition price, the unsuccessful prior 

listing, the property's physical limitations, and the engineering evidence when determining true cash value. 

Petitioner believes that the property's inability to attract a buyer at the prior $14,999 asking price, together with 

the documented development constraints, is evidence that the property's actual market value is substantially 

lower than a valuation that assumes the entire 1.20 acres is usable commercial land. 

The $1,400 acquisition price is also relevant evidence of the property's market value. Petitioner further states 

that the property was listed for $14,999 on Scpiember 12, 2024 and did not sell at that asking price. 

This public listing history provides independent corroboration of the September 12, 2024 $14,999 asking 

price. Petitioner will provide the Zillow property-history page as an exhibit. The listing history does not itself 

establish a sale or the property's true cash value; rather, Petitioner offers it as evidence of the property's prior 

marketing history and unsuccessful exposure at that price. 

Publicly available Zillow listing history for 3502 N Linden Rd confirms a price change to $14,999 on

The auction receipt provides documentary evidence that Parcel No. 14-33-100-011 was Lot 8405 and was 

acquired by Petitioner at a winning bid of $1,400.00. The receipt identifies Mohamed Mansour as the buyer 

and Parcel No. 14-33-100-011 as Lot 8405. 

5. Relief Requested 

Petitioner respectfully requests that the Michigan Tax Tribunal: 

A. Exercise jurisdiction over this appeal; 

B. Determine the proper valuation and/or classification of the property for the tax year(s) properly before 

the Tribunal; 

C. Reduce or otherwise correct the assessment and taxable value to the amounts supported by the 

evidence; 

D. Grant any other relief authorized by law that the Tribunal determines to be appropriate. 

E. Expected to pay taxes for the actual cash value of the property $1400

Subject: RE: Site 

Development - 3502 N Linden 

Rd Flint 

Ken, 

See attached floodplain 

drawing from the county GIS 

site. There is a county drain 

crossing diagonally through the 

site. The Drain Commissioner 

will typically have an easement 

centered on those which 

restricts what can be done 

within it. There is also a 

floodway (red crosshatch), and 

100 year floodplain (blue 

shading) which is over half of 

the site. A maximum of 300 cyd 

of fill, which isn’t much, is 

normally allowed before 

compensating cut is required.

§ GIR I TERRY: WG, TROTTING i 

site. See attached wetlands 

PDF 

I made of the site from the 

county GIS. The orange 

shading is possible wetlands, 

which is most of the site. The 

accuracy of the online wetlands 

viewer is very hit or miss, they 

would need a formal wetlands 

assessment to get a wetlands 

determination to determine 

whether wetlands are present, 

and if they are, what the 

boundary is. 

The presence of the drain with 

a likely easement, a floodplain, 

floodway, and possible 

wetlands makes this a very 

difficult site to develop. By the 

time those factors are 

considered, and the setbacks, 

there may not much if any 

buildable area.
