Assessed Value (also known as State Equalized Value) established 

| Taxable Value established by the Board of Review:

Section 4 Answer. 

Petitioner appealed to the MBOR. Petitioner purchased for 8/13/2025 $550,00 

. Assessed Value is at 

50% of market value based upon sales provided by the Respondent Sales Study of Lake Fenton Canal 

properties. 

Homes on Lake Fenton canals have NOT sold for $400,000. The range is from $485,000 

(with issues reflected in sale price) to $800,000. Petitioner provided 3 sales comparable to the MBOR. 

The sales provided were the only the ones lower than petitioners sale price in the sales between 4/2023 

and 12/31/2025. Tax day for 2026 assessments is December 31, 2025 NOT December 31, 2026. 

March Board of Review reviewed and found the following on supplied comparable by petitioner. There 

were 15 sales within the sales study time frame used by Assessor. All homes below not comparable due 

to construction type and condition compared to subject property. These were only 3 lower than subject 

sale price and were supported in the market as such. 

1. 

13386 Fenton Road sold $485,000. This sale included a damaged home under partial 

construction for the entire basement level, smoke damage in the main level and sever! other 

issues with the home. Assessor walked through the home with the new owners. 

2. 

1365 Blue Water Home sold for $488,000 with no updates and home very outdated from 

the 1970's. Home currently re sold with no changes at $500,000 

3. 

2414 Cranewood again home is out dated with no updates sold for $525,000 

Subject property although a smaller home on the lake has a nice size yard and almost double the 

frontage as comparable provided by petitioner at 100ft. Home is of brick construction on all 4 sides and 

1008 sf is utilized for valuation as comparable are not. Home has been updated including a custom 

kitchen and both bathrooms. Also noted that the record card states recreational finish of 504 s.f., after 

reviewing it appears the basement finish has been updated to include finishes and wetbar which should 

be moved to living finish. Seller provided a home warranty on the home with the sale 

Based upon another review of this home along with comparabie both provided by petitioner at MBOR 

and sales study from Assessor sales supports the current assessed and taxable values for the 2026 year 

True Cash Value of $589,800.
