Parties are required to submit a valuation disclosure or written notification that no valuation disclosure is required by the dates indicated herein. A “valuation disclosure” is defined as documentary or other tangible evidence in a property tax proceeding that a party relies upon in support of the party’s contention as to the true cash value of the subject property or any portion thereof and contains the party’s value conclusion and data, valuation methodology, analysis or reasoning. See TTR 203 and TTR 241. Users who file documents with the Tribunal are advised that filed documents are public records and will appear for public viewing on the Tribunal’s Tax Docket Lookup. If a user wishes to file a document for consideration by the Tribunal and prevent its publication on the Tax Docket Lookup, the user MUST file a Motion for Protective Order under MCR 2.302(C)(8). If a Protective Order is issued, documents covered by the order will not be published. Documents filed prior to the issuance of a Protective Order will be published. In accordance with MCR 1.109(D)(9) and TTR 209, the responsibility for excluding or redacting personal identifying information (PII) from all documents filed with or offered to the Tribunal rests solely with the parties and their attorneys. The Tribunal is not responsible for or required to review, redact, or screen documents at the time of filing for PII whether filed electronically or on paper. A party, representative, or interested person (i.e. third party not part of an appeal) may request that the Tribunal redact PII contained in a previously filed document by submitting a Request for Redactions. The Request for Redactions form is available on the Entire Tribunal and Small Claims pages of the Tribunal’s website.

Failure to file the Prehearing Statement may result in holding a party or parties in default. See TTR 237.

The Parties 1. Petitioner Urbcam Michigan, LLC, is a Michigan limited liability company with its registered office located at 209 Norcliff Drive, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48302. Petitioner Urbcam Dearborn, LLC is a Michigan limited liability company with its principal place of business in Michigan located at 209 Norcliff Drive,
Page 2
Petition Page 2 Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48302. Urbcam Michigan, LLC and Urbcam Dearborn, LLC (collectively, “Petitioners”) are related entities that have the same principal ownership. 2. Respondent City of Dearborn is a Michigan city with its primary offices located at 16901 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, Michigan 48126. The Subject Properties 3. Petitioners own properties identified as follows: Parcel No. Address 82-09-143-01-022 780 Town Center Dr 82-43-143-01-023 780 Town Center Dr 82-09-143-01-023 760 Town Center Dr 82-42-143-01-023 760 Town Center Dr 82-09-143-01-024 740 Town Center Dr They are referred to collectively in this Petition as the “Subject Properties.” 4. The Subject Properties are located in Wayne County and are within the Dearborn City school district. 5. Respondent possesses jurisdiction to assess and collect property taxes for the Subject Properties. The 2026 Assessments 6. For the 2026 tax year, Respondent classified the Subject Properties as commercial real property. 7. For the 2026 tax year, Respondent established the Subject Properties’ assessments for property taxes in the amounts set forth in paragraph 1 of the attached Multiple Parcel Form.
Page 3
Petition Page 3 8. Petitioners contend that lawful assessments of the Subject Properties for the 2026 tax year cannot exceed the amounts set forth in paragraph 2 of the attached Multiple Parcel Form. 9. The amounts in dispute therefore equal the amounts identified in paragraph 3 of the attached Multiple Parcel Form. 10. This Petition presents issues involving the Subject Properties’ valuation for assessment purposes. Petitioners do not believe that this Petition presents any issues arising out of “additions” or “losses” as the General Property Tax Act, MCL 211.1 et seq. (the “GPTA”), defines those terms, but reserve their right to assert issues involving losses should information supporting such issues become available. 11. The Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments (a) violate the Michigan Constitution, the GPTA, and other Michigan law, (b) are based on erroneous principles and information, (c) are based on the misapplication of valuation principles, and (d) otherwise violate Petitioners’ rights. 12. Petitioners do not assert that the Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments are not uniform aside from the lack of uniformity resulting from Respondent overestimating the Subject Properties’ values. Conclusion and Request for Relief WHEREFORE, Petitioners respectfully request that this honorable Tribunal enter judgment revising the Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments to amounts that do not exceed Petitioners’ contentions of value set forth in paragraph 2 of the attached Multiple Parcel Form and granting Petitioners all other relief to which they are entitled under Michigan law.

Respondent City of Dearborn is a Michigan city with its primary offices located at 16901 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, Michigan 48126. The Subject Properties 3. Petitioners own properties identified as follows: Parcel No. Address 82-09-143-01-022 780 Town Center Dr 82-43-143-01-023 780 Town Center Dr 82-09-143-01-023 760 Town Center Dr 82-42-143-01-023 760 Town Center Dr 82-09-143-01-024 740 Town Center Dr They are referred to collectively in this Petition as the “Subject Properties.” 4. The Subject Properties are located in Wayne County and are within the Dearborn City school district. 5. Respondent possesses jurisdiction to assess and collect property taxes for the Subject Properties. The 2026 Assessments 6.

Petition Page 3 8. Petitioners contend that lawful assessments of the Subject Properties for the 2026 tax year cannot exceed the amounts set forth in paragraph 2 of the attached Multiple Parcel Form. 9. The amounts in dispute therefore equal the amounts identified in paragraph 3 of the attached Multiple Parcel Form. 10. This Petition presents issues involving the Subject Properties’ valuation for assessment purposes. Petitioners do not believe that this Petition presents any issues arising out of “additions” or “losses” as the General Property Tax Act, MCL 211.1 et seq. (the “GPTA”), defines those terms, but reserve their right to assert issues involving losses should information supporting such issues become available. 11. The Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments (a) violate the Michigan Constitution, the GPTA, and other Michigan law, (b) are based on erroneous principles and information, (c) are based on the misapplication of valuation principles, and (d) otherwise violate Petitioners’ rights. 12. Petitioners do not assert that the Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments are not uniform aside from the lack of uniformity resulting from Respondent overestimating the Subject Properties’ values. Conclusion and Request for Relief WHEREFORE, Petitioners respectfully request that this honorable Tribunal enter judgment revising the Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments to amounts that do not exceed Petitioners’ contentions of value set forth in paragraph 2 of the attached Multiple Parcel Form and granting Petitioners all other relief to which they are entitled under Michigan law.
