I ask this Tribunal to set aside the default. _________________________________________ Party/Representative (sign here) _________________________________________ [Print/type name of person signing] I certify that on this date I served a copy of this Motion, and any additional documentation, on the opposing party or their representative. ___________________________ _______________________________________ Date (sign here) Denise Shelton 24-002599 City of Detroit, Accessor's office September 25, 2024 November 4, 2024 The city of Detroit accessors office said they sent a surey in late summer of 2023 for years 2022 and 2023 for homestead property to my home, and that I didnt return it in a timely manner. They actually sent it to a former home and I didnt recieve it, until a month or two later. Upon reieving the survey I immediately contacted the assessors office to explain why I hadnt responded to the survey and asked for consideration to respond. I applied for property homestead tax in 2021 when I purchased my home and then again in 2022, 2023, and 2024, because I noticed I had not recieved one yet. The denial stated the reason was that did not occupy the home and I have occupied the home for 2 years now. I was never given a denial for for any of the years 2022 or 2023 until December 2023, of which I appealed within the 35 days required. Then in january of 2024 I recieved a 10,000.00 bill, for each year 2023, 2024 at the same time from the wayne County treasurue'rs office saying that Iowed back taxes. The denial is unfair and ergriuos , becuse the form for the assessr's offices was sent to an inncorrect address and they had my correct address. Tax valuation is too high and dosnt line up with similar proerties on the same block. The tax for the property when I bought it was$1400.00 thats why I bought it, I could afford it. I was denied a homestead property tax exemtion, becuause they said I didnt live in the property, and I do. I wanted a quiet neighborhood to retire in and this was affordable. My taxes is higher than any one in my community, and there is no justification for it. he city put a 20,000.00 tax lien on my property becuase I didnt fill out a survey they never sent me, but instead sent it to a former address. I am appealing theses reasons. Denise Shelton November 6, 2024 Denise Shelton
