Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal 

This parcel is a cell tower site (building on leased land, BLL). Property owner did not file 

an L-4175 for the years 2020 or 2021, therefore the value was estimated. Owner filed 

incomplete L-4175's with the wrong local unit (City of Coopersville) for both 2022 and 

2023. Again, owner filed an incomplete L-4175 for 2024, therefore value of site 

improvements were estimated.

evidence in support of the $92,000 claim of TCV on the petition.
