v

MTT Docket No. 25-002367

City Of Kentwood,

Respondent.

ORDER DENYING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT

The Tribunal has reviewed the case file and the stipulation, filed on August 6, 2025, and 

finds that the parties have stipulated to true cash and/or assessed value for Parcel No. -

007 that does not appear to be in compliance with MCL 211.27a(1), which states that 

"property shall be assessed at 50% of its true cash value . . . ." Id. See also MCL 

205.737. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the Parties’ Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment is 

DENIED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this case shall be placed on a Prehearing General Call 

in the normal course of scheduling.

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.
