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 7260 Owosso Road LLC, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-001372 Cohoctah Township, Presiding Judge Respondent. Jason C. Grinnell ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION CORRECTED ORDER OF DISMISSAL On August 25, 2026, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal reconsider the Order of Dismissal entered in this case on August 11, 2026. In the motion, Petitioner states that the dismissal of this case as a duplicate appeal of MTT Docket No. 26- 001370 was in error. MTT Docket No. 26-001370 involves the valuation of the subject property; however, this appeal is regarding the classification of the subject property. The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Petitioner has demonstrated a palpable error relative to the Order of Dismissal that misled the Tribunal and the parties and that would have resulted in a different disposition if the error was corrected.1 Specifically, MTT Docket No. 26-001370 and this case, while involving the same subject property, address distinctly different legal issues and thus are not duplicative in nature. However, it is well established that the Tribunal has no authority over classification appeals, which are within the jurisdiction of the State Tax Commission pursuant to MCL 211.34c(6).2 As such, the Tribunal finds that dismissal of this case remains appropriate given the lack of jurisdiction over this matter. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Order of Dismissal is CORRECTED. Entered: September 4, 2026 By: /s/ Jason C. Grinnell_ cs 1 See MCR 2.119(F)(3). A palpable error is one that is “easily perceptible, plain, obvious, readily visible, noticeable, patent, distinct, or manifest.” Luckow v Luckow, 291 Mich App 417, 426 (2011) (quotation marks and citation omitted). 2 See also MCL 205.731.
