Assessed Value (also known as State Equalized Value) established 

| Taxable Value established by the Board of Review:

SECTION 4: ANSWER TO APPEAL 26-001071 

A 2026 record card is attached. The total 2026 property Assessed Value is $246,100 and the 

total 2026 property Taxable Value is $240,844. 

The home is new construction that began in 2024 and was completed in 2025. Pictures are 

included for 2024 and 2025. 

The assessed and taxable values in 2025 included 45% of the 

completed new home construction. 

The 2026 assessed and taxable values contain the 

completed structure value. 

The 2026 values were determined 

by analyzing sales 

in 

Buchanan Township. The comparable sales provided by the Petitioner were not located in 

Buchanan Township. Outside sales were not needed to complete the sales studies. Land 

Values were determined first. The 2026 land value analysis is attached. 

Sales were then 

analyzed to determine the appropriate economic condition factor (ECF) needed to apply to 

the structure values at their level of completion. 

The ECF spreadsheet showing how the 

economic condition factor was determined is also attached. 

Lastly the remaining new 

construction value was added to arrive at the final 2026 values of $246,100 assessed value 

and $240,844 taxable value. 

Per Petitioner’s un-dated building contract, the original “cost to build” was $293,000. 

Cost 

does not equal value. 

A building permit was issued by the local building inspector on 

6/24/2024 with 

a home value of $426,000. The building permit was paid for by the contractor 

on 7/24/2024 with a home value of $426,000. 

The building permit application states a 

permit fee is $6.00 per thousand dollars in value. The building permit lists the permit fee as 

$2,556.00. 

(2,556/6=425X 1,000 = $426,000). A copy of the building permit application, 

building permit, and building permit receipt are attached. 

Petitioner's Appeal Sheet does contain an error on the subject property under “Values per 

Mindy Cole-Crocker”. 

Petitioner used the attached record card to obtain values for the 

analysis. See below: 

“VALUES PER MINDY COLE-CROCKER” 

Subject Property 

Values stated by Petitioner 

Actual Values Per Mindy 

Cole-Crocker 

Land Value 

$70,000 

$70,000

The subject property exterior concrete size 

is 5,776 square feet (see record card). The cash 

value 

of the concrete is $43,744. This error in value changes the petitioner’s subject property 

Fair Market Value from $401,790 to $439,759 and the petitioner’s subject property Fair 

Assessed value from $200,895 to $219,880. 

Petitioner believes the actual cost to build should dictate the assessed value of the home. 

However, assessed value is 50% of true cash value. 

The General Property Tax Act 206 of 

1893 defines True Cash Value as "the usual selling price at the place where the property to 

which the term is applied is at the time of assessment, being the price that could be obtained 

for the property at private sale, and not at auction sale except as otherwise provided in this 

section, or at forced sale ” 

Based on the sales analysis data provided, the Buchanan 

Township 2026 market indicates a true cash value of $492,113. This provides an assessed 

value of $246,100. The 2026 taxable value is $240,844.
