STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING ORLENE HAWKS DIRECTOR West Branch Michigan 48661 Taxing Authority (City or Township) Township Of Edwards (OGEMAW) County Ogemaw Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply) True Cash and Taxable Value Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal Hello, I just bought our home in January 2025 for $210,000. I have an appraisal form from The Huntington National Bank stating our value is right at $210,000 on the dot, with local comps in the area showing likewise, if not lower values. Edwards township is trying to increase my 2026 taxable value from $63,772 to $122,500. That's a 17% increase/$58,728 jump in just one year. It will be a $1,489 increase in taxes owed to start this year, and continue to go up as time goes on. I do understand that my property taxes become uncapped the first year after you purchase a home, but a 17% increase in taxable value is not justified. They're basically stating my home is worth $245,000 in just one year, with no improvements. I do know that across the board the state went up 2.7% and the inflation multiplier is at 1.027%, which equals 3.727% (3.8%), so how does one justify going up 17% in single year, with no modifications done to the home, and I have an appraisal stating the current cash value at $210,000. I could see the taxable value being at $105,000 which is right at the current value like it should be, but $122,500 for taxable value (And SEV/Assessed value), is simply not justified or correct. Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues Year(s) you are appealing: 2026 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.

STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING ORLENE HAWKS DIRECTOR West Branch Michigan 48661 Taxing Authority (City or Township) Township Of Edwards (OGEMAW) County Ogemaw Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply) True Cash and Taxable Value Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal Hello, I just bought our home in January 2025 for $210,000. I have an appraisal form from The Huntington National Bank stating our value is right at $210,000 on the dot, with local comps in the area showing likewise, if not lower values. Edwards township is trying to increase my 2026 taxable value from $63,772 to $122,500. That's a 17% increase/$58,728 jump in just one year. It will be a $1,489 increase in taxes owed to start this year, and continue to go up as time goes on. I do understand that my property taxes become uncapped the first year after you purchase a home, but a 17% increase in taxable value is not justified. They're basically stating my home is worth $245,000 in just one year, with no improvements. I do know that across the board the state went up 2.7% and the inflation multiplier is at 1.027%, which equals 3.727% (3.8%), so how does one justify going up 17% in single year, with no modifications done to the home, and I have an appraisal stating the current cash value at $210,000. I could see the taxable value being at $105,000 which is right at the current value like it should be, but $122,500 for taxable value (And SEV/Assessed value), is simply not justified or correct. Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues Year(s) you are appealing: 2026 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: 65-003-004-015-46 Classification of Property: Real Residential
