<br />INVESTIGATION OF ABATEMENT APPLICATION <br /> <br />ABATEMENT No. 4270 <br /> <br />Following is a report on the investigation of the abatement application of: Victor & Donette Port <br /> <br />Cass County Board of Commissioners and State Tax Commissioner: <br /> <br />The applicants are asking that their 2004 residential lot valuation be reduced from $40,500 to <br />$30,000. The property also has a residential structure assessment of$195,400, making a total <br />assessment of$225,400. They state that they paid $18,000 for the lot on 1-31-1999. They also <br />state that larger lots in their development are assessed less than their lot. <br /> <br />The Stanley Twp Board recommended approval of the abatement application. <br /> <br />I did inspect the property and visited with the property owners. I also reviewed the lot <br />assessments in the subdivision. Most of the lots are now improved with newer residential <br />structures. It appears that the lot assessments are not consistent throughout the subdivision. <br />Considering that the subdivision is now established, it's my recommendation that the township <br />should reassess the lots in the entire subdivision. <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION: "I move that Abatement No. 4270 be approved as recommended <br />by Stanley Twp. and the Director of Equalization." <br /> <br />Dated this 3rd day of March, 2005. <br /> <br />c;f~ J~ <br /> <br />Frank Klein <br />Director of Tax Equalization <br /> <br />j :\tax\wplabate <br />
