MTT Docket No. 26-001610 PETITIONER'S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT Petitioner, 834 Sherman LLC, respectfully moves the Michigan Tax Tribunal to set aside the default entered on September 1, 2026.

STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 The current assessment does not appear to reflect the property’s true market value. While the property was purchased for $359,900 in 2023, we believe the purchase price overstated the value at the time due to the condition of the building and the repairs needed upon acquisition. The subject property is a 4-unit building generating annual gross rental income of $56,069 with operating expenses totaling $32,902, resulting in a net operating income of approximately $23,167. Applying a market capitalization rate in the range of 7%–8% indicates an estimated market value between approximately $290,000 and $310,000, which is below the current assessed market value of $358,400. Based on the property’s actual operating performance, income and expense history, and condition at the time of acquisition, we respectfully request that the assessment be adjusted to reflect a more accurate market value. Supporting documentation, including leases and income and expense statements, has been provided for review. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: March If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Year(s) Under Appeal: 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 41-14-32-151-008 Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 179200 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 145166 What do you believe is the fair market value? 300000 Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here. This is your contention of Assessed Value. 150000 If you believe the Taxable Value differs from your contention of Assessed Value, enter your contention of Taxable Value.

STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 The current assessment does not appear to reflect the property’s true market value. While the property was purchased for $359,900 in 2023, we believe the purchase price overstated the value at the time due to the condition of the building and the repairs needed upon acquisition. The subject property is a 4-unit building generating annual gross rental income of $56,069 with operating expenses totaling $32,902, resulting in a net operating income of approximately $23,167. Applying a market capitalization rate in the range of 7%–8% indicates an estimated market value between approximately $290,000 and $310,000, which is below the current assessed market value of $358,400. Based on the property’s actual operating performance, income and expense history, and condition at the time of acquisition, we respectfully request that the assessment be adjusted to reflect a more accurate market value. Supporting documentation, including leases and income and expense statements, has been provided for review. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: March If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Year(s) Under Appeal: 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 41-14-32-151-008 Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 179200 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 145166 What do you believe is the fair market value? 300000 Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here. This is your contention of Assessed Value. 150000 If you believe the Taxable Value differs from your contention of Assessed Value, enter your contention of Taxable Value.
