MTT Docket No. 26-000436 

 

PETITIONER'S SUPPLEMENTAL FILING OF EXHIBIT F 

LOWER-LEVEL WATER DAMAGE REPAIR ESTIMATE 

Petitioner, Holly Michelle Manssur, respectfully submits the attached Exhibit F as supplemental 

evidence concerning the lower-level condition described in Petitioner's previously filed Prehearing Brief and 

depicted in Exhibit E. 

Exhibit F is an August 31, 2025 estimate from Archer Michaels Hardwood Flooring, LLC for work in 

the lower-level walkout and laundry areas of the subject property. The estimate describes the existing 

flooring as "water damaged" and proposes removal of the existing flooring, application of a waterproof 

membrane to the concrete subfloor, and installation of replacement flooring. 

Petitioner submits Exhibit F as additional documentation corroborating the nature of the lower-level 

condition previously identified in Petitioner's Prehearing Brief and supporting exhibits. Petitioner submits 

Exhibit F as additional documentation corroborating the lower-level condition previously identified in 

Petitioner’s Prehearing Brief and supporting exhibits. The estimate, prepared shortly after Petitioner’s 

purchase of the property, independently documents existing water-damaged flooring and the remediation 

proposed for the lower-level walkout and laundry areas. 

Petitioner respectfully requests that the Tribunal accept Exhibit F as supplemental evidence and 

consider it together with the previously filed record. 

Respectfully submitted,

Section 4 Answer. 

Petitioner appealed to the MBOR. Petitioner purchased for 8/13/2025 $550,00 

. Assessed Value is at 

50% of market value based upon sales provided by the Respondent Sales Study of Lake Fenton Canal 

properties. 

Homes on Lake Fenton canals have NOT sold for $400,000. The range is from $485,000 

(with issues reflected in sale price) to $800,000. Petitioner provided 3 sales comparable to the MBOR. 

The sales provided were the only the ones lower than petitioners sale price in the sales between 4/2023 

and 12/31/2025. Tax day for 2026 assessments is December 31, 2025 NOT December 31, 2026. 

March Board of Review reviewed and found the following on supplied comparable by petitioner. There 

were 15 sales within the sales study time frame used by Assessor. All homes below not comparable due 

to construction type and condition compared to subject property. These were only 3 lower than subject 

sale price and were supported in the market as such. 

1. 

13386 Fenton Road sold $485,000. This sale included a damaged home under partial 

construction for the entire basement level, smoke damage in the main level and sever! other 

issues with the home. Assessor walked through the home with the new owners. 

2. 

1365 Blue Water Home sold for $488,000 with no updates and home very outdated from 

the 1970's. Home currently re sold with no changes at $500,000 

3. 

2414 Cranewood again home is out dated with no updates sold for $525,000 

Subject property although a smaller home on the lake has a nice size yard and almost double the 

frontage as comparable provided by petitioner at 100ft. Home is of brick construction on all 4 sides and 

1008 sf is utilized for valuation as comparable are not. Home has been updated including a custom 

kitchen and both bathrooms. Also noted that the record card states recreational finish of 504 s.f., after 

reviewing it appears the basement finish has been updated to include finishes and wetbar which should 

be moved to living finish. Seller provided a home warranty on the home with the sale

Holly Michelle Manssur, 

Petitioner, Pro Per 

v. 

Charter Township of Fenton, 

Respondent 

MTT Docket No. 26-000436 

PETITIONER'S PREHEARING BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF A TRUE CASH VALUE OF 

$500,000

 

I. INTRODUCTION 

Petitioner, Holly Michelle Manssur ("Petitioner"), respectfully submits this Prehearing 

Brief in support of her opinion that the subject property's 2026 True Cash Value is 

$500,000. 

Petitioner does not dispute that the recent arm's-length purchase is relevant evidence of 

value. However, the purchase price alone does not establish the property's True Cash 

Value. Petitioner respectfully submits that the evidence presented in this appeal 

supports a True Cash Value of $500,000. 

II. FACTUAL BACKGROUND 

The subject property is a single-family ranch residence located on a canal connected to 

Lake Fenton within Fenton Township, Genesee County, Michigan. 

According to the property's MLS listing, the home contains approximately 1,008 square 

feet of above-grade living area, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a walkout 

basement. (Exhibit C) The residence was originally constructed in 1968 and is situated 

on approximately 0.21 acres with approximately 100 feet of canal frontage. 

The property was listed for sale on April 30, 2025 with an original asking price of 

$639,500. After exposure to the open market, the property ultimately sold on August 13, 

2025 for $550,000 in what both parties acknowledge was an arm's-length transaction. 

(Exhibits A and B)

Page 2

2 

 

For the 2026 tax year, Respondent determined that the property had a True Cash Value 

of $589,800, resulting in an assessed value and taxable value of $294,900. Petitioner's 

protest before the March Board of Review was denied, after which this appeal was 

timely filed. 

Throughout these proceedings, Petitioner has consistently maintained that the 

property's True Cash Value is $500,000, based upon the comparable market sales and 

the subject property's overall market position. 

III. OVERVIEW OF THE PARTIES' POSITIONS 

The parties do not substantially disagree regarding the relevant facts surrounding the 

purchase of the property. Rather, the dispute centers upon the weight that should be 

given to the valuation evidence. 

Respondent's Answer relies principally upon three points in support of its opinion of 

value: (1) Petitioner's recent arm's-length purchase of the subject property; (2) 

Respondent's review of fifteen comparable sales; and (3) Respondent's criticisms of 

Petitioner's comparable sales. 

Petitioner respectfully submits that Respondent's conclusion is not sufficiently supported 

by the evidence presented in this proceeding. While Respondent references a review of 

fifteen comparable sales, Respondent has not provided the underlying sales analysis, 

market adjustments, or valuation methodology necessary to evaluate how those sales 

support the asserted value. 

Petitioner has instead presented comparable market sales that support a True Cash 

Value of $500,000 and respectfully submits that those sales, considered together with 

the subject property's characteristics, provide the more persuasive indication of market 

value. 

IV. ANALYSIS OF RESPONDENT'S VALUATION 

EVIDENCE 

Respondent concludes that the subject property's 2026 True Cash Value is $589,800. 

Petitioner respectfully submits that the evidence presented does not adequately explain 

or support that conclusion. 

Respondent's Answer relies upon three primary points: 

1. Petitioner's recent purchase of the property for $550,000; (Exhibits A and B) 

2. An internal review of fifteen comparable sales; and 

3. Respondent's opinion that Petitioner's comparable sales are less persuasive than 

Respondent's valuation.

Page 3

3 

 

Petitioner respectfully addresses each point below. 

A. The Recent Purchase Is Relevant Evidence, But It Does Not 

Independently Establish a True Cash Value of $589,800. 

Petitioner does not dispute that the August 2025 purchase was an arm's-length 

transaction and represents relevant evidence of market value. 

However, Respondent's valuation is not $550,000. 

Respondent determined that the property's True Cash Value as of December 31, 2025, 

was $589,800, $39,800 higher than Petitioner's purchase price only a few months 

earlier. 

The issue before the Tribunal is therefore not whether Petitioner's purchase is relevant. 

Rather, the issue is whether the record contains sufficient evidence supporting 

Respondent's conclusion that the property's market value increased to $589,800 during 

that relatively short period. 

Petitioner respectfully submits that Respondent's Answer does not explain how that 

conclusion was reached. 

B. Respondent References a Fifteen-Sale Analysis but Does Not 

Present the Supporting Data. 

Respondent states that fifteen comparable sales were reviewed in determining the 

subject property's assessed value. 

Petitioner does not question that such an analysis may have been performed. 

However,

Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply)

True Cash and Taxable Value

 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

The assessed value exceeds the property’s true cash value and is not supported by recent comparable sales. The subject property was purchased recently and reflects 

current market conditions. Comparable homes in the area are selling closer to the mid-$400,000 range. The subject property is smaller, has fewer bedrooms and 

upgrades, and only a partially finished walkout basement compared to these properties. Therefore, the current assessment does not accurately reflect fair market 

value and should be reduced accordingly. I purchased my home last fall.
