After reading your posts thus far, I have a couple of questions - You had a phone conference with the board, and they denied your appeal? Do you have the form stating that you were denied? From there you go to the tribunal. I read the Michigan Ag exemption stuff online, and it is pretty complicated. Basically tho, you have to prove to the Assesor that the use of the property is agricultural. Having a woodlot or sugarbush does not qualify. I really think that you are going to have to make the 800 mile trek, probably more than once. Once again, I know that when I contested my taxes I inquired about an ag exemption, as I had a couple of horses, goats, etc. The entire board was made up of farmers, and they basically jumped when I brought that up. (2002) I was told that that was reserved for people producing agricultural products for human use. Basically if you are not a local farmer, you aren't gonna get it. I didn't pursue it any further. I have looked at buying some local homes, cleaning them up and renting them out. What has stopped me is the non homestead status. If I have to figure on $300 + taxes per month on a modest home, the financing, and some allowance for maintenance, I come out to a number higher than the local rental market will support. And with appreciation in the future likely to be modest, I really don't see it as a good investment. Good luck, you are gonna need it.
