STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL · 611 W. OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Encore at Main LLC, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, v MTT Docket No. 24-001346 City of Royal Oak, Presiding Judge Respondent. Jason C. Grinnell ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO AMEND ORDER SEVERING 2025 TAX YEAR AND ASSIGNING IT TO DOCKET NUMBER 25-002364 On May 7, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal permit it to amend the petition filed in this case to include the 2025 tax year. On May 28, 2025, Respondent filed a response to the motion. In the response, Respondent requested that the Tribunal deny Petitioner’s motion and dismiss the appeal. However, Respondent’s response to the motion goes on to state that “[i]f Petitioner is permitted to pursue its claim relative to the 2025 tax year, Respondent requests that the 2025 tax year be assigned its own docket number and be allowed to proceed independent of this appeal.” Respondent notes that valuation disclosures and prehearing statements are due August 4, 2025, and there is insufficient time for Respondent to conduct discovery or prepare a valuation disclosure for the 2025 tax year in that limited amount of time. The Tribunal has considered the motion, response, and the case file and finds that Petitioner timely filed its Motion to Amend, included the necessary information and filing fee, and otherwise met all requirements set forth in MCL 205.737 and MCL 205.735a. Due to the stage in which this case is at, however, and in the interest of judicial efficiency, the 2025 tax year shall be severed from this case and assigned to a new docket number. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion to Amend is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s assessment appeal for the 2025 tax year is SEVERED and ASSIGNED to Docket No. 25-002364. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner shall file a petition for the 2025 tax year within 21 days of the entry of this order. The petition shall note the docket number
