Fee Information
Does the property have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition for all tax years at
issue?
Yes
No
If you answered yes to the above question, you are not required to pay any filing fees.
If the property does not have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition for all tax years at
issue, the filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute. If you are appealing more than one
parcel, the parcel with the highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute will be used to determine your filing fee, plus $25.00
will be added for each additional parcel being appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000.00
If your property is residential property (see MCL 205.762) and
the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is:
Filing Fee is:
$100,000.00 and under
$125.00
$100,000.01 to $500,000.00
$200.00
$Over $500,000.00
$300.00
If the property is NOT residential property (see MCL 205.762) and
the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is:
Filing Fee is:
$100,000.00 and under
$250.00
* Plus $25.00 for each additional parcel, as indicated above.
If the property is NOT residential property and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in dispute is $100,000.01 or greater the
appeal does not qualify for Small Claims. Therefore, an Entire Tribunal petition must be filed.
