If you answered yesto the above question, you are not required to pay any filing fees. 

If the property does not have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition for all tax years at 

issue, the filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute. 

If you are appealing more than one

will be added for each additional parcel being appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000.00 

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 

$0ver $500,000.00 

$300.00 

If the 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 the property is 

NOT residential property and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute is $100,000.01 or greater the
