STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING ORLENE HAWKS DIRECTOR Michigan 49247 Taxing Authority: Township Of Hudson (LENAWEE) County: Lenawee Classification of Property: Real Residential Section 4: Check which of the following you are appealing Qualified Agricultural Exemption Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal I currently own the land at 2651 and 2631 N. Posey Lake Hwy. There are two addresses under the same HDO-110-3000-00. This property has ALWAYS been 100% agricultural even with 2 houses UNTIL in 2021 when I built a new barn. In 2021, I called the local building inspector to get a permit for a new barn, and he told me that because I was 100% agricultural certified, I didn’t need one. So, I built the new 30 x 40 barn to support farming operations and then have used it for farming operations. I believe that in retaliation to the zoning issues that were being discussed at the time that my local township assessor and board then moved my classification from 100% agricultural to 100% residential overnight in the 2021 assessment as a retaliation. I appealed this decision at a local level in 2021 and 2022 but I had some serious health complications and have been unable to follow up at the state board of review level with this again until this year. When I was denied the first time in 2021 I was told by the tax assessor that “there is nothing agricultural going on that land” and the second time I appealed in 2022 I was again denied because I was told you brought your farm bureau records of crops and it was only on your cell phone it wasn’t big enough to be seen by the board of review members. I just went back to my local board of review in 2026 and was denied again. The form indicates that it is because over 51% of the property is being used for residential and that is just not true to the current status of the farmland. Not only did I bring crop records but also included ariel maps showing the space the homes and barns take up on the property map. Including my documentation for crop certifications (14 years of berry sales records) and showing farmland maintained at 40 acres. My next-door neighbor has an identical pond, barn, house and sheds with the same 40 acres and remains 100% ag. I just do not feel this is right and does not reflect actual current property use. I am asking for restoration of 100% agricultural classification and restoration of taxes paid if possible since when the classification status was changed. Thank you for your time in reading this appeal review. Attached documents from appeal.
