Written Request for Revised Assessment 

Thank you for your attention to this request for a revised assessment for 3770 Arcadia Drive, Ann Arbor 48108. 

As demonstrated by the attached documentation and analysis, the property has been given an unfair and high 

assessment considering the current market conditions and the size of the property. 

Please consider the following information: 

- The property was valued at $770,000 at the time of purchase. 

- The only change in the property has been for a deck replacement. 

It was unmaintained by previous owner, and 

the condition was brought up during the home inspection. 

- The assessed value for 3770 Arcadia Drive is almost 14% higher than a property that sold at 3734 Arcadia Drive. 

- The house at 3782 Arcadia Drive is the exact house as 3770 Arcadia Drive, yet it's assessed value is 4% lower. 

- The Pittsfield Township provided a small decrease (SEV of $400,000 vs original of $410,502) to the assessed value, 

however the homeowners feel the property at 3770 Arcadia Drive is still too high. 

The homeowners request their assessed value/SEV be lowered to $385,000. This change would bring 3770 Arcadia 

in line with 3782 Arcadia Drive which as mentioned above, is the exact same home structurally, but with more 

amenities (two decks, hot tub, sauna). 

Thank you for your every consideration in this matter. 

Sincerely, 

Tho
