Township Of Bagley,

Respondent.

ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that Petitioner

is appealing assessments for prior tax years and the Tribunal has no authority over

those assessments under MCL 205.735a, as the petition was not timely filed.1 Further,

the Tribunal also has no authority over those assessments, as the facts alleged do not

establish that the assessments were the result of a clerical error (i.e., “an error of a

transpositional, typographical, or mathematical nature”) or a mutual mistake of fact (i.e.,

“an erroneous belief, which is shared and relied on by both parties”).2 Rather, the facts

alleged indicate a valuation dispute that does not involve the correction of a clerical

error or mutual mistake of fact. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s assessment appeal is PARTIALLY DISMISSED. The

appeal shall continue for the 2026 tax year(s) only.

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

Based on recent home sales and current listings for comparable homes in my area, 

| believe my valuation 

is too high. My home is a 3 br/2 bath with an unfinished basement. 

It is 1513 sq/ft of finished living area 

on a 0.67 acre lot. Listed below are recent home sales and listings (Zillow). Six are in my same township 

(Bagley). Pictures/ descriptions are included 

6767 Whispering Pines, 1238 sg/ft, 3 br/2 bath, 0.78 acre. Contract $315K, 7-13-26 (Bagley) 

218 U-Court Drive, 2685 sq/ft, 3 br/3 bath, ??? acre. Sold $294,900, 6-18-26 

6192 Wolverine Trl, 3258 sq/ft, 

3 br/2 bath,0.65 acre. Sold $356,750, 6-9-26 

928 Krystal Meadow. 1680 sq/ft, 3 br/2 bath, 0.47 acre. Sold $340,000, 6-2-26 (Bagley) 

6521 Foothills Trl, 2287 sq/ft, 3 br/2 bath, 0.40 acre. Sold $365,000 5-22-26 (Bagley) 

2186 Krys Rd, 3742 sq/ft, 3 br/4 bath, 0.97 acre. Sold $373,500, 3-26-26 (Bagley) 

2440 Hickorywood Drive, 3808 sq/ft, 3 br/2 bath, 1.13 acre. Soid $340,000, 1-13-26 (Bagley) 

2654 Hickorywood Drive, 2294 sq/ft, 3 br/2 bath, 0.89 acre. Sold $310,000, 1-8-26 (Bagley) 

1439 Apache Tri, 1563 sq/ft, 3 br/2 bath, 1.60 acre. Listed $279,900, 4-11-26 

My Board of Review hearing assessed value is $212,600, which is an increase of $47,500 (my neighbor 

only went up $11,000). 

| find it ironic that the BOR used the same amount as Zillow for my appeal. 

Everyone should know that reaitors and listing parties all use the highest amount, not fair market value. 

| 

find the BOR review to be too high and request a lower tax. 

| also have a 30% veterans disability and that 

is why 

| checked that box.

parcel, the parcel with the highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute will be used to determine your 

filing fee, plus $25.00 

will be added for each additional parcel being appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000.00 

if your property is residential property (see MCL 205.762) and 

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention
