14. 

List the separate and specific facts upon which Petitioner relies to support the relief 

requested (attach additional page if necessary): 

 

The assessment by Respondent of the subject project is arbitrary and 

discriminatory, based on the wrong principles, and otherwise unlawful as being 

contrary to the General Property Tax Act and Tax Tribunal Act for the following 

reasons: 

 

a. 

Respondent has failed to identify the nature of the property being assessed; 

 

b. 

The subject property is assessed in an amount greater than 50% of its true 

cash value; 

 

c. 

Respondent did not assess the subject property taking into account the 

accepted methods of determining true cash value; 

 

d. 

The subject property is subject to restrictions, and said restrictions severely 

restrict the market value of the project. However, the restrictions were not 

taken into account by Respondent in making the assessment, even though 

Respondent was clearly required to do so, pursuant to Michigan law; and 

 

e. 

The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, and 

the mode of assessment adopted by Respondent, discriminate against 

Petitioner and deny Petitioner its constitutional rights to uniformity, equal 

protection and due process of law.

14. 

List the separate and specific facts upon which Petitioner relies to support the relief 

requested (attach additional page if necessary): 

 

The assessment by Respondent of the subject project is arbitrary and 

discriminatory, based on the wrong principles, and otherwise unlawful as being 

contrary to the General Property Tax Act and Tax Tribunal Act for the following 

reasons: 

 

a. 

Respondent has failed to identify the nature of the property being assessed; 

 

b. 

The subject property is assessed in an amount greater than 50% of its true 

cash value; 

 

c. 

Respondent did not assess the subject property taking into account the 

accepted methods of determining true cash value; 

 

d. 

The subject property is subject to restrictions, and said restrictions severely 

restrict the market value of the project. However, the restrictions were not 

taken into account by Respondent in making the assessment, even though 

Respondent was clearly required to do so, pursuant to Michigan law; and 

 

e. 

The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, and 

the mode of assessment adopted by Respondent, discriminate against 

Petitioner and deny Petitioner its constitutional rights to uniformity, equal 

protection and due process of law.
