To Whom It May Concern, | am writing in regard to a letter that was reportedly sent to me in September 2023, which | unfortunately never received. The matter concerns the Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) for the tax years 2021, 2022, and 2023. | was unaware of any issue until my mortgage payment increased significantly due to unusually high property taxes. Upon investigating the matter, | contacted the Barry County Treasurer’s Office and was advised of the situation. | took immediate action upon learning about this issue. Unfortunately, as of May 2025, | have been notified that an additional charge has been applied. Please be advised that we have continuously occupied the property located at 877 South Payne Lake Rd, Wayland, Michigan during the years in question. We can provide supporting documentation including utility bills, school records, payroll information, and tax filings that confirm our residency at this address. Had we received the original letter in 2023, we would have responded without delay. We have not benefited from this situation—on the contrary, it has caused undue financial burden and stress due to the increased mortgage payments. Attached to this letter, you will find the relevant documents that demonstrate our continuous residency at the above address. We respectfully request a reconsideration of this matter based on the facts and supporting evidence provided. Sincerely, Cristobal Flores-Monterrosas/Martha Diaz-Escobedo 616-821-0954/ 616- 250-2900 05/21/2025
