Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

| am writing to formally appeal the current assessed value of my property located at 69696 Oak Street, 

Union, Michigan 49130.The property has been assigned a State Equalized Value (SEV) of $613,000, 

which implies a market value of $1,226,000. Based on a thorough review of relevant market data and 

valuation factors, 

| respectfully contend that this assessment exceeds the property's fair market value as 

of the applicable valuation date. In forming my opinion, 

| have analyzed recent comparable sales, with 

particular emphasis on properties located on Baldwin Lake and, more specifically, those situated on the 

same section of the lake as my property. These comparables indicate lower realized sale prices than the 

implied valuation. Additionally, 

| have considered current market conditions, including demand trends, 

buyer activity, and pricing adjustments occurring in similar lakefront markets. 

| have also consulted with 

multiple licensed real estate professionals familiar with the Baldwin Lake area. Their input, combined 

with my independent analysis, supports a conclusion that the current assessment is overstated. Based 

on the totality of this information, it is my opinion that the property's True Cash Value (fair market value) 

‘does not exceed $1,000,000 as of the valuation date. Accordingly, 

| respectfully request that the 

assessed value be reviewed and adjusted to reflect a more accurate and supportable market value. 

| am 

prepared to provide supporting documentation, including comparable sales data and additional analysis, 

upon request. 

Thank you for your time and consideration of this appeal.

Fee Information

issue? 

[1 Yes

If you answered yes to the above question, you are not required to pay any filing fees. 

If the property does not have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition for all tax years at 

issue, the filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute. 

If you are appealing more than one 

parcel, the parcel with the highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute will be used to determine your filing fee, plus $25.00 

will be added for each additional parcel being appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000.00 

If your property is residential property (see MCL 205.762) and 

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: 

Filing Fee is: 

$100,000.00 and under 

$125.00 

$100,000.01 to $500,000.00

$0ver $500,000.00 

$300.00 

If the property is NOT residential property (see MCL 205.762) and 

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: 

Filing Fee is: 

$100,000.00 and under 

$250.00 

* Plus $25.00 for each additional parcel, as indicated above. 

Ifthe property is NOT residential property and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute is $100,000.01 or greater the 

appeal does not qualify for Small Claims. Therefore, an Entire Tribunal petition must be filed.
