Please ensure this complete physical packet is distributed directly to the Board of Review panel members prior to the call to order on July 20th, and log this delivery into the permanent municipal record.

STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 The local assessing unit miscalculated the uncapping of Taxable Value following the open-market acquisition of 315 Mill St ($216,000.00 purchase price per certified ALTA statement). Under Article IX, Section 3 of the Michigan Constitution and MCL § 211.27a, the property's State Equalized Value (SEV) and Taxable Value (TV) cannot exceed 50% of True Cash Value ($108,000.00). The city erroneously set the Taxable Value at $125,600.00, resulting in an illegal $17,600.00 over- assessment for tax years 2025 and 2026. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: July If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Year(s) Under Appeal: 2025, 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 55-26-552-140 Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 125600 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 125600 What do you believe is the fair market value? 216000 Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here. This is your contention of Assessed Value. 108000 If you believe the Taxable Value differs from your contention of Assessed Value, enter your contention of Taxable Value. 108000 Electronic Signature *Typing your name below will serve as your signature Petitioner’s Signature:
