3. Respondent, Frenchtown Township of Monroe County, assesses and collects property

taxes on the Subject Property.

4. The Subject Property is real property and is classified as Commercial. The Subject

Property is presently used or available for use for Commercial purposes. Petitioner

believes that the Subject Property was originally designed to be used for Commercial

purposes.

5. Protest to the 2026 Board of Review was not made and is not required by law for the

Subject Property.

6. The Subject Property’s address is:

1255 N DIXIE HWY, MONROE, MI 48162-5228

7. This appeal involves issues relating to: (a) valuation, (b) assessment, (c) taxable value

and (d) uniformity.

8. The tax year(s) at issue are: 2026

9. The values for the Subject Property as established by Respondent’s Board of Review are:

Tax Year

Parcel Number

True Cash Value

Assessed Value

Taxable

Value

07 080 005 00

$5,423,000.00

$2,711,500.0

10. The 2026 assessment, assessed value, state equalized value and taxable value imposed

upon all parcels of the Subject 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, assessed value, state equalized value and/or taxable value

exceeds the amounts permitted by the Michigan Constitution, applicable

statutes and case law;

Page 3

2026 Entire Tribunal Property Tax Petition & Proof of Service 

SVC ZB PROPERTIES LLC v Frenchtown Township 

Parcel Number: 07 080 005 00 

MTT Docket No.: 

 

Page 3 of 5 

 

b. The assessment, assessed value, state equalized value and/or taxable value are 

at higher percentages of true cash value than permissible under the Michigan 

Constitution, applicable statutes and case law; 

c. The assessment, assessed value, state equalized value and/or taxable value are 

based upon an erroneous determination of the true cash value of that portion 

of the Subject Property that is taxable under Michigan law, and are based 

upon the application of wrong principles; and 

d. The assessment, assessed value, state equalized value and/or taxable value, 

and the mode of assessment adopted by Respondent, discriminate against 

Petitioner and denies Petitioner its constitutional rights to uniformity, equal 

protection and dues process of law. 

11. Petitioner contends that the actual values for the Subject Property are: 

Tax Year 

Parcel Number 

True Cash Value 

Assessed Value 

Taxable Value

07 080 005 00 

$2,915,200.00 

$1,457,600.00 

$1,457,600.00 

 

 

12. The amount of value in contention for the Subject Property is: 

 

Tax Year 

Parcel Number 

Assessed Value in Contention 

2026 

07 080 005 00 

$1,253,900.00 

 

13. Petitioner relies on the following specific facts to support the relief requested: Market 

sales and income data indicates that the subject property’s assessed value, state equalized 

value and taxable value exceed 50% of its actual market value. In addition, the cost less 

depreciation method Respondent utilizes to establish the Subject Property’s assessment at 

issue is not related to the Subject Property’s actual market value.
