Michigan Tax Tribunal 

611 W Ottawa Street 

Lansing, MI 48909-8195 

RE: 1003/1005 Legrand Drive 

To Whom It May Concern: 

The purpose of the examination of this property is to develop an estimate of market value of the 

fee simple interest of the subject property for tax year 2024. The sales utilized in this report are 

the most recently closed comparable sales from the subject's immediate market area. 

The conditions for all sales were confirmed by an exterior or interior inspection. 

The sales 

comparison approach was the determining factor in the subject’s estimated value. 

The cost 

approach is not considered applicable. The income approach has not been developed since the 

home in the subject's market area are owner occupied. 

It is my opinion that the subject property has a fair market value of $158,000. 

Sincerely, 

as Wc 

Teressa Bowers, MAAO

Docket 25-003185 

PURPOSE OF THE VALUATION DISCLOSURE 

This report was prepared for the purpose of estimating the “as is” market value of the fee 

simple interest as of December 31, 2024. 

INTENDED USER AND USE OF THE VALUATION DISCLOSURE 

The intended user of this valuation disclosure is for the Michigan Tax Tribunal. 

DIFINITIONS 

Definition of Market Value 

The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under 

all 

condition’s 

requisite 

to 

a 

fair 

sale, 

the 

buyer and 

seller each 

acting prudently and 

knowledgeably, and assuming the price 

is not affected by undue stimulus. 

Implicit 

in this 

definition are the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from 

seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 

e 

Buyer and seller are typically motived 

e 

Both parties are well informed or well advised and acting in what they consider 

their own best interest 

e 

Areasonable time is allowed for exposure to the open market 

e 

Payment 

is made 

in terms 

of cash 

in 

U.S. 

dollars 

or 

in terms 

of financial 

arrangements comparable thereto; and 

e 

Price represents 

a normal consideration for the property sold unaffected 

by 

special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated 

with the sale 

The above definition 

is suggested by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice 

(USPAP) and is the basis of this valuation. 

Market Value “as-is” is an estimate of market value of the property in the condition observed 

upon inspection and as it physically and legally exits as of the date of valuation is prepared. 

Definition of Estate Interest 

The value estimated 

is for the fee simple estate. 

Types of ownership estates are defined as

seq. The Michigan Rules of Evidence and the Michigan Court Rules may be applicable. Parties are expected

recorded for notetaking purposes, but the recording is not a formal record, unless otherwise provided for by the 

Tribunal.

REPRESENTATION: You may have an attorney or anyone else of your choice represent you at the hearing. 

The Tribunal does not recommend or appoint representatives for you and will not pay for your representative.

WITNESSES: You may have anyone join you at the hearing to speak in support of your case. However, the 

time to present your case is limited and additional time may not be provided to accommodate witness

DOCUMENTATION: Parties are required to submit all documents in support of their contentions to both the

Alternate Dispute Resolution Options

INFORMAL SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE: Parties have the option of handling this 

case through an informal settlement conference. An informal settlement conference 

is a meeting between the parties and/or their representatives to discuss the issues in a 

case in an effort to settle the case. This process may be an alternative to a hearing with 

a judge and may result in the parties’ filing a Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment. Visit the Tribunal’s ADR webpage for more information.

NOTE: The parties may not request an informal settlement conference to discuss an 

appeal of a principal residence exemption that was denied by either the Michigan 

Department of Treasury or a County. Also, state taxes levied by the Michigan 

Department of Treasury, such as income taxes, are not subject to the informal 

settlement conference process.

MEDIATION: Parties have the option of handling this case through mediation. 

Mediation is a voluntary process where a mediator facilitates communication between 

the parties, assists in identifying issues, and helps explore solutions to promote a 

mutually acceptable settlement. This process may be an alternative to a hearing with a 

judge and may result in the parties’ filing a Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment. Visit the Tribunal’s ADR webpage for more information.

If you have any questions, please contact the Tribunal by phone at (517) 335-9760 or 

email taxtrib@michigan.gov.
