{ am appealing the assessment because | have comparables and other facts to support that the Township's true cash
value and assessed/state equalized value exceeds the property's actual market value.
The property is not a completely new residence. It is an older existing home that we added an addition to and
remodaled. We retained all the original foundation and some of the original structure. See the attached supporting
evigence.
| currently have the previous 2 years pending opinion with evidence. The Plymouth Township assessor acknowledged
at our previous MTT hearing that they agreed to give that house an effective age of 30 years older because of this.
This confirms that the property should be valued as a remodeled and expanded older residence, not as a new
construction. The valuation must account for the remaining original construction and effective age. Comparable marke!
evidence does not support the true cash value. Nearby homes of similar size sold for much less. | have attached the
comparables for your review.
