PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 

Petitioner, by and through its counsel, Law Office of Aaron M. Fales, P.C., hereby serves 

its Motion for Reconsideration, and states as follows: 

BACKGROUND 

1. 

This case involves a very late issued 2025 March Board of Review determination 

erroneously uncapping Petitoner’s property 

that was transferred between related 

entities under common control. 

Petitioner timely appealed the final determination

Page 2

. 

Respondent, 

City 

of Detroit, 

entered 

a March 

Board 

of Review 

(“MBOR”) 

Determination on May 17, 2025 ( EXHIBIT A — MBOR Notice) and subsequently 

mailed said determination to Petitioner. 

. 

Petitioner received the determination on June 7, 2025, after the normal May 31, 2025 

filing deadline (EXHIBIT B — Email Confirming receipt of Notice (6/7/25)). 

. 

Five (5) days after actually receiving the Notice, Petitioner’s Counsel appealed the 

final decision of Respondent’s MBOR on 6/12/25 (EXHIBIT C — Petition), pointing 

out the notice was issued on 5/17/25 (27 days prior) to the Tribunal. 

. 

On August 20" 

the Tribunal 

entered 

an Order dismissing Petitioner’s Petition 

(EXHIBIT D — 8/20/25 Order). 

The Tribunal’s 8/20/25 Order is an Error of Law and Must be Reversed. 

The Tribunal errored in its application of MCL 205.735a(6) (EXHIBIT E — Statute) 

by focusing solely on the May 31 deadline language, however, the May 31° deadline 

is not applicable in this matter as Petitioner is invoking the Tribunal’s jurisdiction 

pursuant the other prong of MCL 205.735a(6) which states: 

“In all other matters, the jurisdiction of the tribunal is invoked by a party in 

interest, as petitioner, filing a written petition within 35 days after the final 

decision, ruling, or determination.” 

. 

In this matter the “final decision, ruling, or determination” of the MBOR was issued 

on 5/17/25 (27 days prior to appeal) and actually received by Petitioner on 6/7/25 (5

Page 3

IL 

was, and is, proper and this Motion for Reconsideration must be granted to correct 

this error in law. 

Petitioner alleged and invoked jurisdiction under MCL 205.735a(6) in section 5 of its 

Petition and the Tribunal has jurisdiction over this matter because it was filed within 

35 days of receipt of the final decision giving rise to this appeal and therefore 

Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration must be granted as a matter of Law. 

A Palpable Error Exists Therefore This Motion Must be Granted 

10. 

IIL. 

A palpable error is an error from which “a different disposition would result from a 

correction of the error.” Luckow v Luckow, 291 Mich App 417, 426; 805 NW2d 453 

(2011). 

Here, 

a different disposition would result from 

correcting 

this 

error; 

Petitioner would have a right to expeditious and properly correct the error by granting 

this motion for reconsideration. Therefore, there is a palpable error because dismissal 

is an error of law and not proper in this instance. Petitioner invoked the timely 

jurisdiction of the Tribunal and should be permitted to correct this error at the 

Tribunal. 

Petitioner would not be able to timely correct the erroneous uncapping 

unless this Motion is granted and therefore this dismissal results in a palpable error as 

well as an error in law. 

The error of law result in a palpable error as well and therefore Petitioner’s Motion 

for reconsideration should also be granted. 

Conclusions

Page 4

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully asks this Tribunal to 

1) enter an Order granting 

Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration, 

2) reinstate this case 

as active on the Tribunal’s 

docketing system, and 3) award any other costs or relief it deems necessary to Petitioner in this 

matter.

PETITION 

BROADWAY

LLC 

(“Petitioner”), 

through 

its 

attorneys, Law Office of Aaron M. Fales, P.C., says: 

1. 

Petitioner's 

principal 

office address 

is 

1300 Broadway, 

Suite 

600, 

Detroit, MI 48226. 

Petitioner is a party in interest with respect fo property taxes

property

nos. 01004005. 

("Petitioner's 

Property"), 

at 

1322 

Broadway, Detroit, Ml, 48226. 

2. 

Respondent, City of Detroit assesses and collects property taxes on 

Petitioner's Property. 

3. 

In 2025, Respondent determined the taxable value of Petitioner's 

Parcel # 01004005. to be $184,490 and assessed Petitioner's Property at $411,700

Page 14

4, 

At the March Board of Review, Respondent erroneosly uncapped 

Petitioner's Taxable Value and Adjusted it up to $411,700. 

6. 

Petitioner's 

Property 

is 

classified 

as 

Commercial 

Real 

Property. 

Petitioner's Property is commercial property. 

Petitioner believes that Petitioner's 

Property was designed to be used as a commercial purposes. 

5. 

This matter involves issues relating to: (a) valuation, (b) assessment, 

(c) taxable value, and (d) uniformity. 

6. 

At this time, Petitioner believes, as 

it relates to taxable value, that 

there is a dispute relative to an erroneous uncapping. 

Z. 

The 2025 assessment, including state equalized value and taxable 

value, 

imposed 

on 

Petitioner's 

Property, 

and 

the 

taxes 

to 

be 

levied 

and 

collected thereon, are invalid and unlawful and operate as a fraud upon the 

taxpayer for the reasons that: 

(a) 

The 

assessment, 

including 

state 

equalized 

value 

and/or 

taxable value, exceeds the amount permitted by the Michigan Constitution and 

applicable statutes;

Page 15

(c) 

The 

assessment, 

including 

taxable 

value 

and/or 

state 

equalized value, are based upon an erroneous determination of the true cash 

value of that portion of Petitioner's Property that is taxable under Michigan law, 

and are based upon the application of wrong principles; and, 

(d) 

The 

assessment, 

including 

state 

equalized 

value 

and/or 

taxable 

value, 

and 

the 

mode 

of 

assessment 

adopted 

by 

Respondent, 

discriminate against Petitioner and deny Petitioner 

its constitutional rights to 

uniformity, equal protection and due process of law. 

WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Tax Tribunal enter an 

Order reducing and recapping the 2025 taxable value of Petitioner's Parcel # 

01004005. from $411,700 to $184,490, and requiring Respondent to pay Petitioner 

the refunds attributable to such reductions, plus interest and costs.
