BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 City or Town Grosse Pointe County Wayne State Michigan ZIP Code 48236 Taxing Authority (City or Township) Wayne County (WAYNE) Check which of the following you are appealing: (check all that apply) True Cash and Taxable Values Please Explain the Reason for this Appeal: The 2026 Assessed Value (AV) and Taxable Value (TV) assigned to the subject property are excessive and do not accurately reflect its True Cash Value (TCV). Comparable properties in the immediate area, including 5251 Lafontaine, are assessed at significantly lower levels despite possessing similar or superior characteristics. In particular, 5251 Lafontaine contains approximately 9,855 square feet of land, substantially larger than the subject property's approximately 5,951 square feet, yet the assessed values remain comparable. This disparity demonstrates that the current assessment of the subject property is not uniform and exceeds market-supported levels. Additionally, the condition of the subject property should be adjusted to "Fair" to more accurately reflect its physical condition. Given the lower assessments assigned to comparable neighboring parcels, an adjustment to both AV and TV is warranted to ensure equitable and uniform taxation. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: March If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Year(s) Under Appeal: 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 21078668.
