Petitioners' Rebuttal to Respondent's Answer 

Oct 15, 2026 

Docket No.26-002351-TT. David Siik v. Negaunee Township · Parcel 52-10-460-031-00 (101 Nardi Dr) 

Summary 

The statements in the answer are not consistent with, and in several places directly contradict, the 

very property records and sales study filed with it: 

1. My sale: The property record card codes my purchase "03-ARM'S LENGTH." The price was set by 

a certified, independent third party, fair market appraisal with no preferential price amount ever 

discussed or arranged. It was handled independently by a bank trust. 

2. Land: An included property referenced by respondent includes better and larger water frontage 

but is charged about half my rate per foot. 

3. The $850,000+ sales: The sales study shows those prices came mainly from their newer, 

premium houses, not the land. 

1. My Sale Was Arm's Length, according to the Property Record Card 

The property record card shows my purchase as $349,000 on 08/08/2024, coded "03-ARM'S LENGTH," 

verified by deed. 

Statement in the answer 

The facts 

"Family sale" 

I am not related to the seller. 

"Distressed sale" 

No foreclosure, bank repossession or short sale. 

It was a standard right of first refusal handled by 

a bank trustee. The answer itself states the 

property was not abandoned. 

Not on the open market; "far below market 

value" 

The price was set by a third party, independent 

fair market appraisal required by the bank 

trustee (included in prior evidence). Without 

preference, sale price was entirely based on 

certified independent Fair Market Value. 

• 

Half the sales in the same study sold for $275,000 to $450,000. My price fits that range. Yet my 

sale does not appear among them, though it is newer than every sale listed. 

2. My Land Is Charged About Double the Rate of a Better Waterfront Property

• 

Both are in the same neighborhood (0404). The longer, better frontage is charged about half my 

rate. 

• 

Acreage does not explain it. 83% of my land value ($354,300) comes from the frontage rate 

(stated on card). My extra 5 acres are valued separately at $75,000. 

• 

My card also applies 100% of the frontage rate, with no reduction for the springs, erosion or 

unusable swampy areas. See shoreline photographs, Exhibit A (attached). 

• 

At 273 N Basin's rate, my land would be about $264,900, not $429,300.

ORDER OF DEFAULT

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that:

Petitioner did not submit a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal (i.e., notice of 

action taken by Board of Review, uncapping notice, PRE denial notice, final assessment 

notice, etc.), as required by TTR 279. As such, Petitioner must submit the notice within 

14 days of the entry of this order. 

Furthermore, Petitioner filed the wrong petition for the issue being appealed and has not 

paid the full required fee for the filing of the appropriate petition. See TTR 279 and 269. 

As such, the appeal is not properly pending. Petitioner must complete and return the 

appropriate petition for the issue being appealed with the additional fee amount required 

for the filing of that petition within 14 days of the entry of this order. The petition shall 

note the docket number assigned by the Tribunal. Small Claims petition forms and a 

filing fee calculator can be found on our website at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. 

Unfortunately, the payment may not be made via e-filing.

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is HELD IN DEFAULT.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defaulted party shall cure the default, as indicated 

above, within 14 days of the entry of this order.1 

1 “A submission by mail is considered filed on the date indicated by the United States Postal Service 

postmark on the envelope containing the submission. A submission without a postmark or with an illegible 

postmark is considered filed on the date the submission is received by the tribunal. A submission by 

commercial delivery service is considered filed on the date the submission is given to the commercial 

service for delivery to the tribunal as indicated by the receipt date on the package containing the 

submission. A submission by personal service is considered filed on the date the submission is received. 

A submission through the tribunal’s e-filing system by 11:59 p.m. on a business day is considered filed on

Please Explain the Reason for this Appeal:

We believe our county assessed value significantly exceeds current fair market value. This determination is supported by the recent professional appraisal 

conducted by a licensed third-party appraiser, the substantial condition issues present in the home since its purchase as an abandoned property, and current local 

real estate market conditions that do not seem to support the county's assessed value. Despite presenting this evidence at the March Board of Appeals, our 

request for any adjustment was denied, and we are therefore pursuing this protest.

Please Explain the Reason for this Appeal:

We believe our county assessed value significantly exceeds current fair market value. This determination is supported by the recent professional appraisal 

conducted by a licensed third-party appraiser, the substantial condition issues present in the home since its purchase as an abandoned property, and current local 

real estate market conditions that do not seem to support the county's assessed value. Despite presenting this evidence at the March Board of Appeals, our 

request for any adjustment was denied, and we are therefore pursuing this protest.
