GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Romulus Development LLC, Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL ENTIRE TRIBUNAL v MTT Docket No. 24-004182 City Of Sterling Heights, Respondent. ORDER DENYING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT The Tribunal has reviewed the case file and the stipulation, filed on March 24, 2025, and finds that the parties have stipulated to a taxable value(s) which does not appear to be in compliance with MCL 211.27a and the parties have failed to provide any justification for the proposed value(s). Specifically, the stipulated taxable value decreased below the state equalized value without legal justification. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the Parties’ Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment is DENIED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this case shall remain on the previously-scheduled Prehearing General Call and a Prehearing Conference will be scheduled accordingly. 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. However, if the new stipulation is filed within 14 days of the issuance of this Order, no additional filing fee is required. By _____________________________ Joshua M.
