Transparency in Upper Peninsula Tax Assessments
I'm beginning research into property assessments and appeals involving Torch Lake Township assessor Mark Erhart, who reportedly serves multiple municipalities across Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I'm looking to hear from property owners, farmers, businesses, or others who have experience with assessments, denied exemptions, valuation disputes, appeal processes, or any other concerns related to his work as an assessor. If you have filed an appeal, challenged an assessment, won or lost a case, or have documentation of interactions with assessment offices where he served, I'd appreciate hearing your story. I'm interested in facts, records, public documents, meeting minutes, board decisions, Michigan Tax Tribunal cases, and firsthand experiences. Please avoid rumors and stick to verifiable information whenever possible. You can comment publicly or send a private message. My goal is to better understand whether there are patterns in assessments, appeals, exemptions, or other issues affecting property owners in the U.P.
