Respondent. Patricia L. Halm): Jia Ul ORDER SEVERING PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE EXEMPTION APPEAL AND ASSIGNING IT TO DOCKET NUMBER 25-003159 ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER IN DEFAULT IN DOCKET NO. 25-003159 ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER IN DEFAULT IN DOCKET NO. 25-002948 On June 5, 2025, Petitioner filed their petition and indicated that the issues being appealed are the true cash and taxable value of Parcel No. 20018345 and the denial of a Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) for the same parcel. The Tribunal has considered the petition and the case file and finds that good cause exists to sever the petition into two separate dockets given the different procedural and legal issues pertaining to the valuation of the subject property and Petitioner's claim regarding the denial of the PRE. However, the Tribunal notes that there are procedural defects that must be corrected and addressed on both dockets. Notably, Petitioner did not pay the required fee for the filing of the petition or submit a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal for either issue. While Petitioner checked the box in the fee information section of the petition indicating that the subject property has a PRE of at least 50% as of the date of filing the petition, which would result in no required filing fee, Petitioner is also appealing the denial of the PRE and indicated in Section 5 of the petition that as of filing, the PRE is 0%. Thus, Petitioner is required to pay the filing fee for both petitions. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner's appeal regarding the denial of the PRE is SEVERED and ASSIGNED to Docket No. 25-003159.
