Julie Chopp v. 

Valuation Appeal —- Respondent Answer 

Docket No. 

Township of Green Oak 

Explanation of Answer to Appeal 

26-000377 

4716-05-201-012 

Exhibit A 

Respondent states that the Petitioner filed a valuation appeal to the March Board of Review requesting a 

true cash value of $700,000 (assessed and taxable values of $350,000), based on the purchase price paid 

on December 30, 2025. The Board did not concur with the requested true cash value of $700,000; 

however, it did determine that the property had been assessed in excess of 50% of true cash value, 

consistent with the requirements of the General Property Tax Act, specifically MCL 211.27(1) and MCL 

211.27(6). 

During Board deliberations, and upon further review in consultation with the Township Assessor, it was 

identified that the property’s construction class and effective age had been incorrectly assigned. After 

correcting these characteristics, the Assessor provided the Board with a revised valuation indicating a true 

cash value of $860,800. The Board accepted this corrected valuation and adjusted the assessed and 

taxable values to $430,400, reflecting 50% of the revised true cash value. 

Invalid subject sale verification. After verification of the sale, and subsequent communication with the 

listing agent, it was determined that the transaction constituted an expedited or forced sale due to 

extenuating health circumstances affecting the seller. Based on this additional information, the sale was 

reclassified from an initial outlier to an invalid sale and therefore excluded from the Respondent’s sales 

study. 

Respondent concurs with the March Board of Review’s final determination. Supporting documentation, 

including before-and-after valuation reports evidencing the correction, is attached.

Township Of Green Oak,

Respondent.

NOTICE OF FILING

TAKE NOTICE that a Small Claims answer has been filed and the electronic copy of the 

answer can be reviewed by utilizing the Docket Lookup on the Tribunal’s website. 

Unless Respondent was defaulted, this case is ready to be scheduled for a Small 

Claims hearing and will be scheduled in the normal course of scheduling. You will 

receive a Notice of Hearing from the Tribunal by e-mail if you have identified an email 

address in the petition or other documentation. The Notice of Hearing will inform you of 

the date, time, and location of your hearing (note that your hearing will likely be 

conducted by telephone). Please read the Notice of Hearing as it includes important 

information.

EVIDENCE: Parties are required to submit all evidence to the Tribunal and send a copy 

to the opposing party at least 21 days before the hearing date even if the documents 

had been submitted to the local Board of Review or the Michigan Department of 

Treasury. If the documents are not timely submitted to the Tribunal and served on the 

opposing party, the documents may be excluded. Documents may be filed with the 

Tribunal by mail or through the Tribunal’s e-filing system. Documents may be sent to the 

opposing party by mail or by e-mail, if the parties agree to service by e-mail.

Users who file documents with the Michigan Tax Tribunal are advised that filed 

documents are public records and will appear for public viewing on the Tax 

Docket Lookup. Users who file documents are responsible for ensuring sensitive or 

personal identifying information is withheld or redacted. See TTR 209. If a user wishes 

to file a document for consideration by the Michigan Tax Tribunal and prevent its 

publication on the Tax Docket Lookup, the user MUST file a Motion for Protective Order 

under MCR 2.302(C)(8). If a Protective Order is issued, documents covered by the 

Order will not be published. Documents filed prior to the issuance of a Protective Order 

will be published.

The responsibility for excluding or redacting personal identifying information (PII) from 

all documents filed with or offered to the Tribunal rests solely with the parties and 

their attorneys. The Tribunal is not responsible for or required to review, redact, or 

screen documents at the time of filing for PII whether filed electronically or on paper. A 

party, representative, or interested person (i.e. third party not part of an appeal) may 

request that the Tribunal redact PII contained in a previously-filed document by

Page 2

submitting a Request for Redactions. The Request for Redactions form will be 

available on the Entire Tribunal and Small Claims pages of our website. 

Alternate Dispute Resolution Options

INFORMAL SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE: Parties have the option of handling this 

case through an informal settlement conference. An informal settlement conference 

is a meeting between the parties and/or their representatives to discuss the issues in a 

case in an effort to settle the case. This process may be an alternative to a hearing with 

a judge and may result in the parties’ filing a Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment. Visit the Tribunal’s ADR webpage for more information.

NOTE: The parties may not request an informal settlement conference to discuss an 

appeal of a principal residence exemption that was denied by either the Michigan 

Department of Treasury or a County. Also, state taxes levied by the Michigan 

Department of Treasury, such as income taxes, are not subject to the informal 

settlement conference process.

MEDIATION: Parties have the option of handling this case through mediation. 

Mediation is a voluntary process where a mediator facilitates communication between 

the parties, assists in identifying issues, and helps explore solutions to promote a 

mutually acceptable settlement. This process may be an alternative to a hearing with a 

judge and may result in the parties’ filing a Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment. Visit the Tribunal’s ADR webpage for more information.

If you have any questions, please contact the Tribunal by phone at (517) 335-9760 or 

email taxtrib@michigan.gov.

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Aoeeal 

The property sold in an arm's-length transaction on December 30, 2025 for $700,000, 

one day prior to tax day. No improvements were made between closing and tax day. 

The Board of Review reduced the SEV to $430,400, which implies a market value of 

approximately $861,000, significantly above the verified sale price; however, the 

adjusted value is not supported by the verified sale or comparable market data. I 

respectfully request an SEV of $350,000, which reflects 50% of the verified market 

value.
