GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Richard F Ban, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 25-003549 City of Detroit, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER IN DEFAULT The Tribunal has reviewed the file in this case and finds that Petitioner filed a petition on July 31, 2025, identifying the issues being appealed as the subject property’s true cash and taxable value and the denial of a poverty exemption. Petitioner submitted a March Board of Review decision showing there was an adjustment granted to the assessed and taxable values. However, there is no evidence that Petitioner requested a poverty exemption or that a request was denied. Petitioner is attempting to appeal multiple issues in one case and has not provided a copy of the notice denying the 2025 poverty exemption. As such, Petitioner must either: (1) submit the missing notice denying the poverty exemption with a separate petition for this issue within 14 days of entry of this order. Small Claims petition forms and information on filing fees can be found on our website at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib, or (2) submit a response indicating that this case should go forward as a true cash and taxable value appeal only and the poverty exemption issue is not being appealed. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is held in DEFAULT. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must cure the default as indicated above. The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal within 14 days of entry of this Order.1 1 “A submission by mail is considered filed on the date indicated by the United States Postal Service postmark on the envelope containing the submission. A submission without a postmark or with an illegible postmark is considered filed on the date the submission is received by the tribunal. A submission by commercial delivery service is considered filed on the date the submission is given to the commercial service for delivery to the tribunal as indicated by the receipt date on the package containing the submission. A submission by personal service is considered filed on the date the submission is received.
