Dear Ms. Welton, 

Re. Default of Five Small Claim Petitions 

using two docket MTT No. 25-002300 (02) 

Enclosed please find five Small Claim Petitions that were filed on April 29. 2025 

and four were Defaulted on June 6, 2025. The reason was that the internet form was 

not used. Two Docket numbers were used for the four Defaults; 002300 for two and 

002302 for two. I am not sure which Docket number goes to which Petition. 

I will assume a fifth one is on the way. 

Please find enclosed the five Petitions using the internet form. 

A $250 filing fee was filed for each on April 29, 2025. 

1 will wait to receive the correct Docket numbers. 

Thank you. 

Respectfully, 

Aa

The reason for appeal is that the subject property may well be assessed at more than 

50% of fair market value. This property was recently transferred to Petitioner from a 

probated estate. The Taxable Value was uncapped with the new assessment/taxable 

value in question. The subject is quite small and should be made part of Petitioner's 

neighbor property with a change of description. 

Petitioner has met with Respondent and 

will attempt to settle this prior to hearing.
