Page 2
STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 I respectfully appeal the current assessed value and State Equalized Value (SEV) of the subject property - 22727 Foxmoor Dr, Novi, MI 48374 - because the valuation does not accurately reflect the property’s present condition or its value relative to comparable properties within the neighborhood. A review of similarly situated properties indicates that the subject property is assessed significantly higher based on several relevant valuation metrics, including: - Assessed value per square foot compared with similar neighboring properties; - Percentage increase in assessed value over the past several years compared with similar properties; and - Assessed value per square foot of comparable properties that have recently sold. Based on these comparisons, the subject property’s assessment appears excessive and inconsistent with the assessments and recent market data for comparable properties. In addition, the current assessment does not adequately account for the age, deterioration, and required repairs associated with several major components of the property, including: - The siding is deteriorating and requires substantial repair or replacement. - The approximately 30-year-old flooring is worn and uneven. - The windows are old and require replacement. - The approximately 20-year-old roof is nearing the end of its expected useful life. - The deck has sustained significant damage from carpenter ants and carpenter bees and requires major repair or replacement. - The backyard creek has not been adequately maintained by the city, adversely affecting the property’s condition, usability, enjoyment, and overall marketability. ** Additional documents to support my claim are attached For these reasons, the current assessed value and SEV do not fairly represent the property’s actual condition or its value in relation to comparable properties. I respectfully request that the assessment be reviewed and reduced to a fair and equitable amount supported by the comparable-property data and the documented condition of the property. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? No If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Not required to attend Year(s) Under Appeal: 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 50-22-28-428-007 Classification of Property: Personal (check one) Residential (check one)

STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR Please Explain Your Answer to this Appeal: The 2026 March Board of Review, acting within its authority as prescribed under State of Michigan Statute MCL 211.27a(3) denied petitioner's protest of assessed value. The Board of Review cited the property "at market value." The assessment as equalized does not exceed 50% of True Cash Value. The sales of similar properties justifies the value. Jurisdictional Issues: IF PETITIONER IS APPEALING THE TRUE CASH AND/OR TAXABLE VALUES: Did Petitioner protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review Petitioner attended: March If No, was the Notice of Assessment properly sent to Petitioner prior to the March Board of Review? *Submit a copy of the Notice of Assessment with the Answer. If the July or December Board of Review revised the assessment(s) at issue, did it have authority? If yes, please cite the Board’s authority? Was the assessment(s) at issue established as the result of a clerical error or mutual mistake of fact? No If yes, please explain Is Petitioner appealing from a State Tax Commission Order? No If yes, when was it issued? IF PETITIONER IS APPEALING THE UNCAPPING OF TAXABLE VALUE: When was the Notice of Uncapping issued? Under what statutory section was the taxable value uncapped?

STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 I respectfully appeal the current assessed value and State Equalized Value (SEV) of the subject property - 22727 Foxmoor Dr, Novi, MI 48374 - because the valuation does not accurately reflect the property’s present condition or its value relative to comparable properties within the neighborhood. A review of similarly situated properties indicates that the subject property is assessed significantly higher based on several relevant valuation metrics, including: - Assessed value per square foot compared with similar neighboring properties; - Percentage increase in assessed value over the past several years compared with similar properties; and - Assessed value per square foot of comparable properties that have recently sold. Based on these comparisons, the subject property’s assessment appears excessive and inconsistent with the assessments and recent market data for comparable properties. In addition, the current assessment does not adequately account for the age, deterioration, and required repairs associated with several major components of the property, including: - The siding is deteriorating and requires substantial repair or replacement. - The approximately 30-year-old flooring is worn and uneven. - The windows are old and require replacement. - The approximately 20-year-old roof is nearing the end of its expected useful life. - The deck has sustained significant damage from carpenter ants and carpenter bees and requires major repair or replacement. - The backyard creek has not been adequately maintained by the city, adversely affecting the property’s condition, usability, enjoyment, and overall marketability. ** Additional documents to support my claim are attached For these reasons, the current assessed value and SEV do not fairly represent the property’s actual condition or its value in relation to comparable properties. I respectfully request that the assessment be reviewed and reduced to a fair and equitable amount supported by the comparable-property data and the documented condition of the property. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? No If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Not required to attend Year(s) Under Appeal: 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 50-22-28-428-007 Classification of Property: Personal (check one) Residential (check one)
