Entire Tribunal Property Tax Petition 

 

Petitioner KJ Property Group, LLC, by and through its attorneys, Williams 

Williams Rattner & Plunkett, PC, states as follows for its Entire Tribunal Property 

Tax Petition. 

The Parties 

1. 

Petitioner KJ Property Group, LLC, is a Michigan limited liability 

company with its registered offices located at 27950 Orchard Lake Road, Suite 110, 

Farmington Hills, Michigan 48334. 

2. 

Respondent City of Troy is a Michigan municipal corporation with its 

principal offices located at 500 W. Big Beaver Road, Troy, Michigan 48084.

Page 2

Page 2 of 4 

The Subject Property 

3.

Petitioner owns property identified as Parcel No. 88-20-10-477-049 and

commonly known as 5027-5137 Rochester Road, Troy, Michigan 48085 (the “Subject 

Property”). 

4.

The Subject Property is located in Oakland County and is within the

Troy Public School District. 

5.

To Petitioner’s knowledge, the Subject Property was designed for, and

is presently used for, retail purposes. 

The 2026 Property Tax Assessment 

6.

Respondent possesses jurisdiction to assess and collect property taxes

for the Subject Property. 

7.

For the 2026 tax year, Respondent classified the Subject Property as

commercial real property. 

8.

For the 2026 tax year, Respondent established the Subject Property’s

assessment for property taxes in the following amounts: 

True Cash Value 

Assessed Value 

Taxable Value 

$9,822,020 

$4,911,010 

$4,880,890 

A copy of the 2026 Notice of Assessment for the Subject Property is attached to this 

Petition as Exhibit A. 

9.

Petitioner contends that a lawful assessment of the Subject Property

for the 2026 tax year cannot exceed the following amounts: 

Assessed Value 

Taxable Value 

True Cash Value 

$8,000,000 

$4,000,000 

$4,000,000

Page 3

Page 3 of 4 

10.

The amounts in dispute therefore are as follows:

Assessed Value 

Taxable Value 

True Cash Value 

$1,822,020 

$911,090 

 

$880,890 

11.

This Petition presents issues involving the Subject Property’s

valuation for property tax assessment purposes. Petitioner does not believe that 

this Petition presents any issues arising out of “additions” or “losses” as the General 

Property Tax Act, MCL 211.1 et seq. (the “GPTA”), defines those terms, but reserves 

its right to assert issues involving losses should information supporting such issues 

become available. 

12.

The Subject Property’s 2026 assessment (a) violates the Michigan

Constitution, the GPTA, and other Michigan law, (b) is based on erroneous 

principles and information, (c) is based on the misapplication of valuation 

principles, and (d) otherwise violates Petitioner’s rights. 

13.

Petitioner does not assert that the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment

is not uniform aside from the lack of uniformity resulting from Respondent 

overestimating the Subject Property’s values. 

Conclusion and Request for Relief 

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this honorable Tribunal 

enter judgment revising the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment to amounts that do

Page 4

Page 4 of 4 

not exceed the values set forth in Paragraph 9 and granting Petitioner all other 

relief to which it is entitled under Michigan law. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Respectfully Submitted,
