The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values, and the mode of assessment

by Respondent’s Board of Review to those contended by Petitioner, and order refunds attributable 

to the reductions, with interest, as provided by the Tax Tribunal Act.

11. 

Petitioner relies upon the following to support the relief requested: 

The 2026 values imposed on Petitioner’s property, and the taxes to be levied and collected 

thereon, are invalid and unlawful and operate as fraud upon the taxpayer for the reasons 

that: 

(a) 

The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values exceed the amounts permitted 

by the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes; 

(b) 

The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values are at higher percentages of true 

cash value than permissible under the Michigan Constitution and applicable 

statutes; 

(c) 

The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values are based upon an erroneous 

determination of the true cash value of that portion of Petitioner’s property that is 

taxable under Michigan law and are based upon the application of wrong principles; 

and 

(d) 

The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values, and the mode of assessment 

adopted by Respondent, discriminate against Petitioner and deny Petitioner its 

constitutional rights of uniformity, equal protection and due process of law. 

Petitioner requests that the Tribunal enter an order reducing the 2026 values from those established 

by Respondent’s Board of Review to those contended by Petitioner, and order refunds attributable 

to the reductions, with interest, as provided by the Tax Tribunal Act. 

 

1TCV=true cash value, SEV=state equalized value, TV=taxable value.
