RECEIVED Patricia N. Huth. SEP 19 2025 PO Box 74 Allegan, MI 49010 MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL September 7, 2025 Michigan Tax Tribunal 611 W. Ottawa St. Lansing, MI 48933 Re: MTT Docent # 25-003285 and Order of Dismissal I received a denial letter from my township Board of Review dated July 22, 2025 regarding an application for reduced property taxes based on reduced income. The letter stated my application had been denied, and that 1 could file an appeal to your office within 35 days. With no directions given at all, I searched the Internet for information, instructions and forms. I must say this was hardly a task a layperson can handle easily. But on August 22, T sent to your office a packet of forms titled “Entire Tribunal Property Tax Petition” stating my case. At the end of August I received a letter titled “Notice of Docket Number” assigning the above number to my case. In that letter, a further instruction indicated I needed to serve a copy of the petition, which I assumed was to the clerk of my Township. I'm certainly not familiar with serving papers, so again went to the Internet and the information I obtained indicated I could not serve these papers myself, but should have the sheriff do it. 1 was to then to supply you with proof of service. I took the packet to the sheriff, and after some internal consultation, they advised I go back to your website where I should find the proof of service form. They also said it should indicate I could serve the papers myself (they had never done so). 1 did find your “Proof of Service” form, and it called for serving 5 separate parties as well as the State Treasurer. This required 6 sets of copies, oversized envelopes, and about $25 in postage and certified fees, but I followed these instructions. Then I got an e-mail from the Tribunal titled “Order of Dismissal”, stating that I had been 1 day late in filing, and that the time period allowed was 30 days. As you can see from the Township letter of denial enclosed, they advised that I had 35 days to appeal. It certainly is not my fault that their directions and your letter do not agree. I did everything I was asked in the time I was told was allowed only to have the Tribunal, after the fact, advise of a shorter time frame. I appeal to you to see that I am being penalized for bureaucratic errors beyond my
