STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING ORLENE HAWKS DIRECTOR Redford Michigan 48239 Taxing Authority (City or Township) Township of Redford (WAYNE) County Wayne Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply) True Cash and Taxable Value, Uncapping of Taxable Value Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal I am submitting this second appeal because I believe the assessed value of my property remains inaccurate and does not reflect its true market value or current condition. The valuation appears to be based on generalized market trends rather than the specific characteristics of my home. The property is significantly outdated and requires substantial updates and repairs. In particular, there is an active water leak in the basement that will require costly repairs, which directly impacts the home’s value and livability. These factors were not adequately considered in the original assessment. Additionally, comparable properties in similar condition within my area indicate a lower market value than what has been assigned. Based on my research, I believe the fair market value of my home falls between $179,000 and $199,000, which would support a significantly lower assessed value than currently determined. The current assessment has also created a financial hardship. The increase in property taxes at this level is making homeownership increasingly unaffordable and is not sustainable given the condition of the property and necessary repair costs. For these reasons, I respectfully request a reconsideration of my property’s assessed value to ensure it reflects its true market condition, necessary repairs, and fair market comparisons. Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues Year(s) you are appealing: 1 Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)? Yes If Yes, check which BOR you attended AND upload the BOR decision: March If No, check the applicable reason(s): Did you request a Poverty Exemption at the BOR? If Yes, check which BOR considered your application AND upload the BOR decision: March July December If No, explain why: Section 7: Valuation Information *Use the multiple parcel form for additional, contiguous parcels. Parcel Identification Number: 8279045010504000 Classification of Property: Personal Residential

STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING ORLENE HAWKS DIRECTOR Current Assessed Value (also known as State Equalized Value) as established by the BOR: 105700 Current Taxable Value as established by the BOR: 105700 What do you believe is the fair market value (also known as True Cash Value)? 192000 Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here. This is your contention of Assessed Value (also known as State Equalized Value). 96000 If you believe the Taxable Value differs from your contention of Assessed Value, enter your contention of Taxable Value. Section 8: Classification Information *Only the MI Dep’t of Treasury may appeal this issue to the Tribunal* Parcel Identification Number: Current Classification of Property as established by Board of Review: What do you believe is the property’s classification? If improved property, how is the property currently being used? If improved property, for what use was the property designed? Fee Information Does the subject property have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition? Yes Are you appealing ONLY the denial of a Poverty Exemption? Yes If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, you are not required to pay any filing fees. The filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention. If you are appealing more than one parcel, the parcel with the highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention 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. 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 $200.00 $Over $500,000.00 $300.00 If your 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. If your property is NOT residential property and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is $100,000.01 or greater the appeal does not qualify for Small Claims. Therefore, an Entire Tribunal petition must be filed.
