 Section 4: Check which of the following you are appealing



 [] Principal Residence Exemption Qualified Agricultural Exemption



 Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

 Petitioner owns 3 adjoining parcels. All three have been classified agricultural dating back to

 2013 and beyond. Parcel 3212-010-011-50 (38 acres } and Parcel 3212-010-011-50 (2 Acres)

 continue to be classified agricultural. Parcel 12-010-010-00 ( 40 Acres) was classified

 Agricultural according to MCL 211.34 ¢ commencing 2014.

 In 2019 Petitioner began construction of a home on Parcel 12-010-010-00. Construction was

 completed in 2020. All three parcels continued to be classified agricultural through 2024.

 Commencing 2025 the house and entire 40 acres of parcel 12-010-010-00 was classified

 Residential. The adjoining 2 parcels remain agricultural. Petitioner maintains that a partial

 exemption should apply to the house and the remaining property should retain its prior

 agricultural status. The assessor and Board of Review denied this request because less than

 50% of Parcel 12-010-010-00 is being farmed. The Farm Service Agency Producer Farm Data

 Report for 2025 reflects that Parcel 12-010-010-00 has 27.43 acres of cropland. Furthermore,

 This parcel should continue to be classified as agricultural according to MCL 211.34 ¢ as the

 adjoining 40 acres of land continues to be classified agricultural.



 Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues

 Indicate who denied the exemption under appeal:



 Assessor County Treasurer or Equalization Michigan Dept. of Treasury Board of Review Other

 %



 If you checked “other” above, explain:



 List the date your Principal Residence Exemption or Qualified Agricultural Exemption was denied:
