Oakland Township, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent. 

 

Patricia L. Halm 

 

ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 

 

On September 21, 2026, Respondent filed a motion requesting the Tribunal set aside 

the default entered in this case on September 16, 2026. 

 

Petitioner has not filed a response to the motion. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Respondent 

was held in default due to filing the wrong answer form for the issue being appealed. 

Having now filed the appropriate answer form, Respondent has complied with the 

Tribunal’s orders as required by TTR 237. As such, the Tribunal finds good cause to 

grant the motion and set aside the default. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Respondent’s Motion to Set Aside Default is GRANTED. 

 

 

Entered: October 20, 2026

MTT Docket No. 26-002498

Township Of Oakland,

Respondent.

NOTICE OF FILING

TAKE NOTICE that a Small Claims answer has been filed and the electronic copy of the 

answer can be reviewed by utilizing the Docket Lookup on the Tribunal’s website. 

Unless Respondent was defaulted, this case is ready to be scheduled for a Small 

Claims hearing and will be scheduled in the normal course of scheduling. You will 

receive a Notice of Hearing from the Tribunal by e-mail if you have identified an email 

address in the petition or other documentation. The Notice of Hearing will inform you of 

the date, time, and location of your hearing (note that your hearing will likely be 

conducted by telephone). Please read the Notice of Hearing as it includes important 

information.

EVIDENCE: Parties are required to submit all evidence to the Tribunal and send a copy 

to the opposing party at least 21 days before the hearing date even if the documents 

had been submitted to the local Board of Review or the Michigan Department of 

Treasury. If the documents are not timely submitted to the Tribunal and served on the 

opposing party, the documents may be excluded. Documents may be filed with the 

Tribunal by mail or through the Tribunal’s e-filing system. Documents may be sent to the 

opposing party by mail or by e-mail, if the parties agree to service by e-mail.

Alternate Dispute Resolution Options

INFORMAL SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE: Parties have the option of handling this 

case through an informal settlement conference. An informal settlement conference 

is a meeting between the parties and/or their representatives to discuss the issues in a 

case in an effort to settle the case. This process may be an alternative to a hearing with 

a judge and may result in the parties’ filing a Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment. Visit the Tribunal’s ADR webpage for more information.

NOTE: The parties may not request an informal settlement conference to discuss an 

appeal of a principal residence exemption that was denied by either the Michigan 

Department of Treasury or a County. Also, state taxes levied by the Michigan 

Department of Treasury, such as income taxes, are not subject to the informal 

settlement conference process.

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 26-002498

Page 2 of 2

MEDIATION: Parties have the option of handling this case through mediation. 

Mediation is a voluntary process where a mediator facilitates communication between 

the parties, assists in identifying issues, and helps explore solutions to promote a 

mutually acceptable settlement. This process may be an alternative to a hearing with a 

judge and may result in the parties’ filing a Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment. Visit the Tribunal’s ADR webpage for more information.

If you have any questions, please contact the Tribunal by phone at (517) 335-9760 or 

email taxtrib@michigan.gov.

Petitioner appeals 2026 true cash, assessed/SEV, and taxable value for Parcels 10-16-200-003 and 10-16-200-005.

implying TCV of $1,781,000, approx. $281,000 (18.7%) above the sale price. Petitioner does not dispute 

transfer/uncapping; Petitioner disputes the value to which taxable value was uncapped. 

Petitioner requests that the Tribunal reduce the combined 2026 true cash value for the two parcels to $1,500,000 and
