Former Ypsilanti Assistant City Manager and current Ferndale City Manager Bob Bruner is in the news…he’s appealing his Ypsilanti property tax assessment.

From the Sunday, December 16th Detroit Free Press article:

Bruner said he’s satisfied with the assessed value of his Ferndale home, which he bought in 2002, from someone who had owned the house for 70 years. When he bought the house then, his taxes tripled. However, he and his wife recently appealed taxes on a home she bought in Ypsilanti shortly before the two met. That house has been on the market for nine months and he said the taxes on it are too high. He is waiting to hear whether his appeal was successful.

It will be interesting to see how this one turns out.
