BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR PROPERTY TAX APPEAL ANSWER FORM VALUATION / UNCAPPING APPEAL MTT DOCKET NO. 26-002873 Respondent’s Contact Information: Filer Type: Local Unit of Government: Individual First Name M.I. Last Name Sally A Murray Mailing Address (No., Street, P.O. Box or Rural Route) 13235 Center Rd City or Town State ZIP Code Traverse City Michigan 49686 Telephone Number 2312237313 E-mail Address assessor@peninsulatownship.com Subject Property Information: Are the parcels listed by Petitioner contiguous or adjoining? If no, list all parcels that are adjoining in separate groupings. *If necessary, attach a separate sheet. N/A Does the subject property have a principal residence exemption of 50% or more? Yes Please Explain Your Answer to this Appeal: The petitioner argument is flawed. Assessments shall not be set at half of the sales price. State Tax Commission 3 of 1997 defines "chasing sales" as an illegal and prohibited practice of adjusting assessments to match sales, rather than appraising based on the proper mass appraisal approach. Further, the General Property Tax Act provides, in section 211.27(5): "....the purchase price paid in a transfer of property is not the presumptive true cash value of the property transferred. In determining the true cash value of transferred property, an assesssing officer shall assess that property using the same valuation method used to value all other property of that same classification in the assessing jurisdiction." The subject parcel was valued utilizing a proper mass appraisal approach. Additional evidence to be provided in advance of a scheduled hearing date.
