Re: 

241 W State St Hastings, MI 49058 

Parcel number 55-201-108-00 

Dear Property Owner: 

The Assessot’s Office was recently made awate of a transfer of ownership, dated June 4, 2021, on the above- 

named propetty. A transfer of ownership is defined in MCL 211.27a. This part of the statute reads: 

“Upon a transfer of ownership of property after 1994, the property’s taxable value for the calendar year 

following the year of the transfer is the property’s state equalized valuation for the calendar year following the 

transfer.” 

This means that the taxable value becomes “uncapped” the year following the transfer of ownership, causing 

an increase in property taxes. This change is reflected the enclosed Michigan Department of Treasury form 

“Assessor Affidavit Regarding Uncapping of Taxable Value” for year 2022-2024. Upon receipt of this 

affidavit, the County Treasurer will make an adjustment to the 2022, 2023 and 2024 tax statements. 

This action can be appealed to the Michigan Tax Tribunal by filing an appeal within 35 days of receipt of this 

notice. Appeal forms are available online at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. If you have any questions, please 

contact me at 269-945-9350. Thank you.

Check which of the following you are appealing: (check all that apply)

Uncapping of Taxable Value

 

Please Explain the Reason for this Appeal:

The uncapping of the Subject Property for tax years 2022, 2023, and 2024 is unlawful

because the June 4, 2021 transaction did not constitute a transfer of ownership under the

General Property Tax Act. The transaction was a tax-free reorganization, specifically a

merger, that falls within the exemption set forth in MCL 211.27a(7)(n). Accordingly, no

uncapping event occurred, and Respondent’s retroactive adjustment of taxable value is

contrary to law.

Jurisdictional Issues:

Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? No

If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: 

If No, please check the applicable reason(s):

Appealing within 35 days of receipt of Notice of Uncapping

Year(s) Under Appeal:

2022, 2023 & 2024

 

Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal:

Parcel Number:

08-55-201-108-00

Classification of Property: Real (check one)
