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 Katey Bryan, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 24-003558 White Lake Township, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm ORDER DENYING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT The Tribunal has reviewed the case file and the stipulation, filed on January 30, 2026, and finds that the parties have stipulated to a 2025 taxable value that is not in compliance with MCL 211.27a(2)(a) and the parties failed to provide any justification for the proposed value. Specifically, MCL 211.27a(2)(a) requires a property’s taxable value to be calculated by taking “[t]he property's taxable value in the immediately preceding year minus any losses, multiplied by the lesser of 1.05 or the inflation rate, plus all additions.” In this case, the result is $328,497, not $328,490. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment is DENIED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that because this Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment is no longer pending before the Tribunal, a new stipulation is required for any future settlement. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that unless a new stipulation is filed as provided herein, a hearing shall be scheduled in the normal course.
