STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL · 611 W. OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Sardar Ansari, Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-001389 City of Detroit, Respondent. ORDER OF DISMISSAL The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that: The issue in this case is already pending in another case and, as such, this appeal is duplicative and shall be dismissed. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the case is DISMISSED. This order resolves all pending issues and closes the case. APPEAL RIGHTS If you disagree with the final decision in this case, you may file a motion for reconsideration with the Tribunal or a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals. A motion for reconsideration must be filed with the Tribunal with the required filing fee within 21 days from the date of entry of the final decision. Because the final decision closes the case, the motion cannot be filed through the Tribunal’s web-based e-filing system; it must be filed by mail or personal service. The fee for the filing of such motions is $50.00 in the Entire Tribunal and $25.00 in the Small Claims Division, unless the Small Claims decision relates to the valuation of property and the property had a principal residence exemption of at least 50% at the time the petition was filed or the decision relates to the grant or denial of a poverty or disabled veterans exemption and, if so, there is no filing fee. You are required to serve a copy of the motion on the opposing party by mail or personal service or by email if the opposing party agrees to electronic service, and proof demonstrating that service must be submitted with the motion. Responses to motions for reconsideration are prohibited and there are no oral arguments unless otherwise ordered by the Tribunal. Alternatively, you may file a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals. If the claim is filed within 21 days of the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal of right.” If

Huron St. Apt 3 City or Town Ypsilanti State Michigan ZIP Code 48197-2515 Telephone Number 8043196752 E-mail Address sardar.ansari@gmail.com Subject Property Information: How many parcels are you appealing? 1 If you are appealing more than one parcel, are they contiguous or adjoining? *If no, you must file separate appeals for each parcel N/A Property Address (No., Street) 2257 Parker Street City or Town Detroit County Wayne State Michigan ZIP Code 48214 Taxing Authority (City or Township) City of Detroit (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:
Page 2
STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 We purchased the house at 2257 Parker St. Detroit last year and it was assessed this year. Based on the report card (attached), the assessor assumed that our house has a basement. However, the house has a crawl space. Please see the attached independent inspection report (page 20) from when we purchased the house that includes pictures that the inspector took. The rest of the report is redacted for privacy reasons. I'm also attaching pictures I took of the crawl space. I tried to upload a video walking from outside the house to the crawl space, but the e-filing system does not allow me to upload it. Given that a basement adds $30,000-40,000 to the value of the house, we are appealing the assessment. Since the value of the house (before applying ECF and minus the land) was assessed at $127,224 with a basement, we believe it should have been valued at $127,224-$35,000 = $92,224 instead. Therefore, the estimated True Cash Value should be $92,224*1.079 + $3,579 (land value) = $103,089 and the assessed value should be $103,089 / 2 = $51,544. We filed an appeal with the March Board of Review and attended the hearing. At the hearing, we were told that the assessor needs to visit the house again and confirm that there is no basement and that the documents we had provided were not sufficient. We were told we'll hear from the assessor's office. We did not hear and nobody from the city came to check the crawl space. Then we got a letter in the mail with the board's decision that said our appeal was rejected without even acknowledging what we had appealed, that they were supposed to come check out the crawl space, and that they did not. So we kindly request that the valuation of our house is corrected to reflect the fact that it does not have a basement. 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: 17009099. Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 70400 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 70400 What do you believe is the fair market value? 103089 Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here. This is your contention of Assessed Value.

STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 We purchased the house at 2257 Parker St. Detroit last year and it was assessed this year. Based on the report card (attached), the assessor assumed that our house has a basement. However, the house has a crawl space. Please see the attached independent inspection report (page 20) from when we purchased the house that includes pictures that the inspector took. The rest of the report is redacted for privacy reasons. I'm also attaching pictures I took of the crawl space. I tried to upload a video walking from outside the house to the crawl space, but the e-filing system does not allow me to upload it. Given that a basement adds $30,000-40,000 to the value of the house, we are appealing the assessment. Since the value of the house (before applying ECF and minus the land) was assessed at $127,224 with a basement, we believe it should have been valued at $127,224-$35,000 = $92,224 instead. Therefore, the estimated True Cash Value should be $92,224*1.079 + $3,579 (land value) = $103,089 and the assessed value should be $103,089 / 2 = $51,544. We filed an appeal with the March Board of Review and attended the hearing. At the hearing, we were told that the assessor needs to visit the house again and confirm that there is no basement and that the documents we had provided were not sufficient. We were told we'll hear from the assessor's office. We did not hear and nobody from the city came to check the crawl space. Then we got a letter in the mail with the board's decision that said our appeal was rejected without even acknowledging what we had appealed, that they were supposed to come check out the crawl space, and that they did not. So we kindly request that the valuation of our house is corrected to reflect the fact that it does not have a basement. 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: 17009099. Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 70400 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 70400 What do you believe is the fair market value? 103089 Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here. This is your contention of Assessed Value.
