Re: Assessment Appeal — Parcel #13-35-327-070, 3565 Port Cove Drive #67, Waterford, MI 

48328 

Dear Members of the Board of Review, 

1 am appealing the 2025 property tax assessment for my condominium at 3565 Port Cove Drive 

#67, Waterford, MI 48328 (Parcel ID: 13-35-327-070), held under DHE Holdings LLC. 

My Summer 2024 tax bill was $4,045.06, while my Summer 2025 bill increased to $9,936.95 

following the uncapping triggered by the property transfer. While I understand that uncapping 

applies, the resulting taxable and assessed values appear to be significantly overstated relative to 

actual market activity in the Port Cove development. 

Comparable Sales Evidence 

e 

3565 Port Cove Dr #68 — 1,542 sq ft, listed August 2025 for ~$465,000. Prior assessed 

value ~$399,940 (2024). 

e 

3559 Port Cove Dr #23 — 1,650 sq ft, sold May 2025 for ~$399,900. 

e 

3565 Port Cove Dr #63-1 — 1,557 sq ft, Trulia estimate ~$411,400 (Aug 2025). Assessed 

2024 value ~$353,060. 

e 

3559 Port Cove Dr #17 — 1,200 sq ft, listed August 2025 for ~$334,900. 

These comparables show that similar condos in the same development range between $335,000 

and $400,000. Based on this data, I believe the fair market value of my condo should be closer to 

$375,000, resulting in an assessed value of approximately $187,500, rather than the current 

assessment. 

Request 

Upon review of this appeal, I respectfully request that the Board reduce the assessed value to 

more accurately reflect market value. In addition, should the Board approve an adjustment that

creates a credit, I ask that the credit be applied toward the upcoming yearly property tax bill 

rather than refunded by check.
