ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 

IN ABEYANCE 

 

ORDER REQUIRING INFORMATION 

 

On October 8, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal reconsider the 

dismissal of this case because “Respondent did not receive notice of the uncapping 

until receiving its Summer 2025 tax bill and promptly filed this appeal within 35 days 

thereafter.” 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Petitioner cites 

MCL 211.27b(6) which relates to delayed uncapping situations where the assessor may 

increase a property’s taxable value if “the buyer, grantee, or other transferee . . . does 

not notify the appropriate assessing office,” of a transfer of ownership. MCL 211.27b(6) 

requires the assessor to “immediately notify by first-class mail the owner of that property 

of that increase in taxable value.” Petitioner alleges the first notification of the increase 

was the 2025 Summer Tax Statement, which was submitted with the petition. However, 

the Tribunal must determine whether Respondent issued an uncapping notice, aside 

from the summer tax bill. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration is Held in ABEYANCE. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent must complete the following: submit a 

copy of the notice of uncapping at issue in this appeal, if any. The foregoing must be 

filed with the Tribunal and served on Petitioner within 14 days of entry of this order.
