STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 The assessed True Cash Value of $41,880 significantly exceeds the actual market value of this 40-acre parcel. The property was purchased in an arm’s-length transaction for $15,000 and is heavily restricted due to being landlocked by federal land with ATV-only access limited to vehicles under 65 inches wide. Access also requires an annual federal permit. The parcel has no road frontage, utilities, power, well, septic, or typical development potential, making it substantially less valuable than accessible recreational or buildable acreage. Recent nearby comparable parcel sales ranging from $18,500 to $24,250 further support that the current valuation is excessive. We believe a fair True Cash Value would be approximately $21,000. 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: 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 6611 312 005 10 Classification of Property: Real (check one) Timber-Cutover (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 20940 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 20940 What do you believe is the fair market value? 21000 Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here.
