MTT Docket #26-
Parcel No. 56-14-200-014
PETITION
STATEWIDE RIVERHILL LLC (“Petitioner”), through its attorneys, Law Office of
Aaron M. Fales, P.C., says:
1.
Petitioner's principal office address is PO BOX 480485, New Haven,
MI 48038. Petitioner is a party in interest with respect to property taxes on real
property tax parcel no. 56-14-200-014 ("Petitioner's Property"), at 5356 Perry,
Grand Blanc, MI 48439.
2.
Respondent, City of Grand Blanc assesses and collects property
taxes on Petitioner's Property.
3.
In 2026, Respondent determined the taxable value of Petitioner's
Property to be $243,700 and assessed Petitioner's Property at $243,700 resulting in
a state equalized value of the same amount based on the tenative equalization
factor.
4.
Petitioner's Property is classified as Commercial Real Property.
Petitioner's Property is a commercial property. Petitioner believes thatPage 2
Petitioner's Property was originally designed to be used for commercial purposes. 5. This matter involves issues relating to: (a) valuation, (b) assessment, (c) taxable value, and (d) uniformity. 6. At this time, Petitioner believes, as it relates to taxable value, that there is a dispute relative to the value of a loss. 7. The 2026 assessment, including state equalized value and taxable value, imposed on Petitioner's Property, and the taxes to be levied and collected thereon, are invalid and unlawful and operate as a fraud upon the taxpayer for the reasons that: (a) The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, exceeds the amount permitted by the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes; (b) The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, are at higher percentages of true cash value than permissible under the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes; (c) The assessment, including taxable value and/or state equalized value, 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 assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, and the mode of assessment adopted by Respondent,
Page 3
discriminate against Petitioner and deny Petitioner its constitutional rights to uniformity, equal protection and due process of law. WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Tax Tribunal enter an Order reducing the 2026 taxable value of Petitioner's Property from $243,700 to $143,800, and reducing the 2026 assessed and state equalized values of Petitioner's Property from $243,700 to $143,800, and requiring Respondent to pay Petitioner the refunds attributable to such reductions, plus interest and costs.
