Page 2
STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 The Petitioner contends that the City's current assessment severely overstates the property's True Cash Value (TCV) relative to objective, localized neighborhood market data. While the subject property was purchased in July 2025 for $790,000, subsequent comprehensive market analysis demonstrates that this transactional price represents an anomalous premium that significantly exceeded the actual market baseline for the immediate neighborhood. When adjusted uniformly to match the subject property's 2,785 above-grade square feet, 1.3-acre lot, 3-car garage, and pole barn, the local neighborhood market demonstrates an adjusted TCV range between $549,650 and $705,100. This establishes an objective, market-supported baseline average of $603,327. A side-by- side market adjustment analysis (attached) of three highly comparable local properties—accounting for objective differences in square footage, acreage, bathroom counts, basement finishes, and outbuilding storage capabilities—demonstrates that the local market cannot support either the City's implied valuation or the Petitioner's July 2025 purchase price. The true neighborhood market average is $239,873 lower than the $843,200 TCV implied by the Board of Review's current assessment, illustrating an undeniable downward variance in localized property values. The City’s current Assessed Value of $421,600 implies an inflated market value of $843,200, which completely divorces itself from objective neighborhood trends. Because the statutory mandate of the Tribunal is to establish the true market value of the property, the Petitioner respectfully requests that the Tribunal set the property's True Cash Value to the market-substantiated baseline of $603,327, reducing the Assessed Value to $301,663. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review?

Page 2
STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 The Petitioner contends that the City's current assessment severely overstates the property's True Cash Value (TCV) relative to objective, localized neighborhood market data. While the subject property was purchased in July 2025 for $790,000, subsequent comprehensive market analysis demonstrates that this transactional price represents an anomalous premium that significantly exceeded the actual market baseline for the immediate neighborhood. When adjusted uniformly to match the subject property's 2,785 above-grade square feet, 1.3-acre lot, 3-car garage, and pole barn, the local neighborhood market demonstrates an adjusted TCV range between $549,650 and $705,100. This establishes an objective, market-supported baseline average of $603,327. A side-by- side market adjustment analysis (attached) of three highly comparable local properties—accounting for objective differences in square footage, acreage, bathroom counts, basement finishes, and outbuilding storage capabilities—demonstrates that the local market cannot support either the City's implied valuation or the Petitioner's July 2025 purchase price. The true neighborhood market average is $239,873 lower than the $843,200 TCV implied by the Board of Review's current assessment, illustrating an undeniable downward variance in localized property values. The City’s current Assessed Value of $421,600 implies an inflated market value of $843,200, which completely divorces itself from objective neighborhood trends. Because the statutory mandate of the Tribunal is to establish the true market value of the property, the Petitioner respectfully requests that the Tribunal set the property's True Cash Value to the market-substantiated baseline of $603,327, reducing the Assessed Value to $301,663. 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: 4718-31-300-101 Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 421600 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 421600 What do you believe is the fair market value? 603327
