Petitioner: Yuyang Song 

Requested SEV: $450,000

1. Cover Letter 

 

Dear Officer: 

 My name is Yuyang Song. I am the owner of the home at 592 concord pines dr, Ann Arbor, 

Mi, 48105. I bought the house in 2024 per a pressure sale from a real agent for the new 

construction house in Ann Arbor. Since it is a new house, it was not much clear for me for 

the house is so close to highway 23, actually less than 300ft as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.2. NO 

BODY TOLD ME THIS INFOR WHEN THEY SELL THE HOUSE TO ME. 

 

Fig1. Distance measurement

Page 3

•• PROTECTED 関係者外秘

Fig.2 Highway behind the house 

The property has been assessed at a State Equalized Value (SEV) of $481,900, implying a 

true cash value of $963,800, which exceeds the property's actual market value as of tax day. 

A recent comparable sale within the same subdivision, 580 Concord Pines Dr, sold for 

$998,762. However, that comparable property is superior to the subject property in several 

significant respects. The subject property has an unfinished basement as Fig.3 shows, lacks 

premium lot characteristics, has fewer builder upgrades, and is adversely affected by 

highway proximity, all of which reduce its market value relative to the comparable sale. 

 

I respectfully request review of the assessment of my residential property located at 

592 Concord Pines Dr, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The current SEV is $481,900. Based on 

comparable sales and market adjustments for highway proximity, unfinished basement, 

non-premium lot characteristics, and fewer builder upgrades, I request a reduction of 

SEV to $450,000. 

 

2. Reasons for Appeal 

 

The assessment exceeds the property's actual market value. A comparable sale at 

580 Concord Pines Dr sold for approximately $998,762. However, that property is 

superior due to basement finish, lot characteristics, upgrades, and location.

Exhibit E – Noise Measurement Evidence 

This is the noise measurement results for my house, the recorded time is Friday afternoon, 

not peak traffic time. Such noise makes our backyard basically a junk yard, we can not have 

any social event in backyard. Because of such noise level, we never have any party in our 

house. 

 

Another huge factor of from this noise level is the reselling value of the house, we were 

trying to sell this house in last two years, but we can not get any offer. Per conversation 

from the selling agent, they told me that there is no offer for this house at all. Most of the 

potential buyer just did not want to step in the house, even there is open house event. Some 

of them parked their car outside the curb and notice this noise, then turned around home. 

This is a huge issue for us…

MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL APPEAL PACKAGE 

 

Property: 592 Concord Pines Dr, Ann Arbor, MI 48105 

Petitioner: Yuyang Song 

Requested SEV: $450,000

Page 2

1. Cover Letter 

 

Dear Officer: 

 My name is Yuyang Song. I am the owner of the home at 592 concord pines dr, Ann Arbor, 

Mi, 48105. I bought the house in 2024 per a pressure sale from a real agent for the new 

construction house in Ann Arbor. Since it is a new house, it was not much clear for me for 

the house is so close to highway 23, actually less than 300ft as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.2. NO 

BODY TOLD ME THIS INFOR WHEN THEY SELL THE HOUSE TO ME. 

 

Fig1. Distance measurement

Page 3

Fig.2 Highway behind the house 

The property has been assessed at a State Equalized Value (SEV) of $481,900, implying a 

true cash value of $963,800, which exceeds the property's actual market value as of tax day. 

A recent comparable sale within the same subdivision, 580 Concord Pines Dr, sold for 

$998,762. However, that comparable property is superior to the subject property in several 

significant respects. The subject property has an unfinished basement as Fig.3 shows, lacks 

premium lot characteristics, has fewer builder upgrades, and is adversely affected by 

highway proximity, all of which reduce its market value relative to the comparable sale. 

 

I respectfully request review of the assessment of my residential property located at 

592 Concord Pines Dr, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The current SEV is $481,900. Based on 

comparable sales and market adjustments for highway proximity, unfinished basement, 

non-premium lot characteristics, and fewer builder upgrades, I request a reduction of 

SEV to $450,000. 

 

2. Reasons for Appeal 

 

The assessment exceeds the property's actual market value. A comparable sale at 

580 Concord Pines Dr sold for approximately $998,762. However, that property is 

superior due to basement finish, lot characteristics, upgrades, and location.

Exhibit E – Noise Measurement Evidence 

This is the noise measurement results for my house, the recorded time is Friday afternoon, 

not peak traffic time. Such noise makes our backyard basically a junk yard, we can not have 

any social event in backyard. Because of such noise level, we never have any party in our 

house. 

 

Another huge factor of from this noise level is the reselling value of the house, we were 

trying to sell this house in last two years, but we can not get any offer. Per conversation 

from the selling agent, they told me that there is no offer for this house at all. Most of the 

potential buyer just did not want to step in the house, even there is open house event. Some 

of them parked their car outside the curb and notice this noise, then turned around home. 

This is a huge issue for us…
