Page 2
STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 The 2026 assessment of this property is appealed because the True Cash Value (TCV) and resulting assessed value are inaccurate; they fail to account for the property's incomplete physical condition as of the December 31, 2025, Tax Day. As of that date, the kitchen was in an unfinished, non-functional state (exposed studs, no flooring, no cabinetry). The current assessment treats the property as a finished, functional residence, which overstates its 'usual selling price' as defined under MCL 211.27. A valuation adjustment is necessary to achieve uniformity with other comparable properties in the neighborhood that are assessed based on their actual, finished condition. Since the property experienced a transfer in ownership that resulted in uncapping the taxable value is also appealed. 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: 41-15-33-202-013 Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 183000 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 182998 What do you believe is the fair market value? 335000 Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here.
