 Parcel No. 70-18-08-200-039 

Jamestown Charter Township,

PETITION 

S & L Properties Hudsonville LLC ("Petitioner"), through its representatives, AD VALOREM 

PARTNERS LLC, says: 

 

Petitioner's principal office address is 2651 Kirking Ct., Portage, WI 53901. Petitioner is a 

party in interest with respect to property taxes on tax parcel no. 70-18-08-200-039 ("Petitioner's Property"), 

at 3915 32ND Ave., Jamestown Township, MI 49426. 

2. 

Respondent, Jamestown Charter Township, assesses and collects property taxes on 

Petitioner's Property. 

3. 

In 2026, Respondent determined the taxable value of parcel number 70-18-08-200-039 to 

be $1,115,129 and the assessed value to be 1,281,900 which will result in a state equalized value in the 

same amount based upon the tentative equalization factor. 

4. 

Petitioner’s Property is classified as Commercial Real. Petitioner's Property is presently 

used for Commercial purposes. Petitioner believes that Petitioner's Property was originally designed to be 

used for Commercial purposes.

5. 

This matter involves issues relating to: (a) valuation, (b) assessment, (c) taxable value and 

(d) uniformity. 

6. 

No March Board of Review protest was required for Petitioner’s Property. 

7. 

The 2026 assessment, including state equalized value and taxable value, imposed on 

Petitioner's Property, and the taxes to be levied and collected thereon, are invalid and unlawful and operate 

as a fraud upon the taxpayer for the reasons that: 

(a) 

The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, exceed the 

amount permitted by the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes; 

(b) 

The assessment, including state equalized value, are at higher percentages of true 

cash value than permissible under the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes; 

(c) 

The assessment, including state equalized value, are based upon erroneous 

determinations of the true cash value of that portion of Petitioner's Property that is taxable under 

Michigan law, and is based upon the application of wrong principles; and, 

(d) 

The assessment, including state equalized value, and the mode of assessment 

adopted by Respondent, discriminate against Petitioner and deny Petitioner its constitutional rights 

to uniformity, equal protection and due process of law.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Tax Tribunal enter an Order: (i) reducing the 2026 

taxable value of parcel number 70-18-08-200-039 from $1,115,129 to $750,000, and reducing the 2026 

assessed value and state equalized value from $1,281,900 to $750,000; and (ii) awarding Petitioner any 

other relief to which it is entitled. 

Respectfully submitted,
