ORDER SETTING ASIDE RESPONDENT’S DEFAULT 

 

ORDER GRANTING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT 

 

CONSENT JUDGMENT 

 

On September 16, 2026, the Tribunal entered an order placing Respondent in default 

for failure to file an answer to the petition. On September 30, 2026, Respondent filed an 

answer. Therefore, Respondent’s default shall be set aside. 

 

On September 30, 2026, the parties filed a Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment 

(stipulation). Having considered the file in this case, the Tribunal finds that the 

stipulation meets all filing and statutory requirements.1 As such, the Tribunal shall enter 

the stipulation. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Respondent’s default is SET ASIDE. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment 

including all attachments, terms and conditions is GRANTED and ADOPTED, unless 

otherwise indicated. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the officer charged with maintaining the assessment 

rolls for the tax years at issue shall correct or cause the assessment rolls to be 

corrected to reflect the property’s true cash and taxable values as provided in this 

Consent Judgment within 20 days of the entry of the Consent Judgment.2 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the officer charged with collecting or refunding the 

affected taxes shall collect taxes and any applicable interest or issue a refund as 

required by the Consent Judgment within 28 days of the entry of the Consent 

Judgment. If a refund is warranted, it shall, unless otherwise indicated, include a 

proportionate share of any property tax administration fees paid and of penalty and 

interest paid on delinquent taxes. The refund shall also, unless otherwise indicated,

separately indicate the amount of the taxes, fees, penalties, and interest being 

refunded. A sum determined by the Tribunal to have been unlawfully paid shall, unless 

otherwise indicated, bear interest from the date of payment to the date of judgment and 

the judgment shall bear interest to the date of its payment. A sum determined by the 

Tribunal to have been underpaid shall not bear interest for any time period prior to 28 

days after the issuance of this Consent Judgment. Pursuant to MCL 205.737, interest 

shall accrue (i) after December 31, 2020, through June 30, 2022, at the rate of 4.25%, 

(ii) after June 30, 2022, through December 31, 2022, at the rate of 4.27%, (iii) after

2023, through December 31, 2023, at the rate of 8.25%, (v) after December 31, 2023,
