v 

 MTT Docket No. 26-001631

Township Of Oxford,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that:

Petitioner has filed a Motion to Withdraw the Petition prior to the Petition being served 

on Respondent. Thus, Respondent has not appeared in this case. 

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the case is DISMISSED.

This order resolves all pending issues and closes the case.

APPEAL RIGHTS

If you disagree with the final decision in this case, you may file a motion for 

reconsideration with the Tribunal or a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of 

Appeals. 

A motion for reconsideration must be filed with the Tribunal with the required filing fee 

within 21 days from the date of entry of the final decision. Because the final decision 

closes the case, the motion cannot be filed through the Tribunal’s web-based e-filing 

system; it must be filed by mail or personal service. The fee for the filing of such 

motions is $50.00 in the Entire Tribunal and $25.00 in the Small Claims Division, unless 

the Small Claims decision relates to the valuation of property and the property had a 

principal residence exemption of at least 50% at the time the petition was filed or the 

decision relates to the grant or denial of a poverty or disabled veterans exemption and, 

if so, there is no filing fee. You are required to serve a copy of the motion on the 

opposing party by mail or personal service or by email if the opposing party agrees to 

electronic service, and proof demonstrating that service must be submitted with the 

motion. Responses to motions for reconsideration are prohibited and there are no oral 

arguments unless otherwise ordered by the Tribunal.

Alternatively, you may file a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals. If the 

claim is filed within 21 days of the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal of right.” If

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 26-001631

Page 2 of 2

the claim is filed more than 21 days after the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal 

by leave.” A copy of the claim of appeal must be filed with the Tribunal to certify the 

record on appeal. There is no certification fee.

Entire Tribunal Property Tax Petition 

 

 

Petitioner 375 Partners, LLC, by and through its attorneys, Williams Williams 

Rattner & Plunkett, PC, states as follows for its Entire Tribunal Property Tax 

Petition. 

The Parties 

1. 

Petitioner 375 Partners, LLC, is a Michigan limited liability company 

with its principal offices located at 1780 Highwood St., Pontiac, Michigan 48340. 

2. 

Respondent Charter Township of Oxford is a Michigan charter township 

with its principal offices located at 300 Dunlap Rd., Oxford, Michigan 48371.

Page 2

Page 2 

The Subject Property 

3. 

Petitioner is the party in interest in property identified as Parcel No. 

PO-04-26-304-011, commonly known as 375 S. Glaspie St., Oxford, Michigan 48371 

(the “Subject Property”). 

4. 

The Subject Property was designed for and is used for commercial and 

industrial purposes as a vehicle repair and storage facility. 

5. 

The Subject Property is located in Oakland County, within the Oxford 

public school district, and the Oakland County community college district. 

The Subject Property’s 2026 Assessment 

 

6. 

Respondent possesses jurisdiction to assess and collect property taxes 

for the Subject Property. 

7. 

For the 2026 tax year, Respondent classified the Subject Property as 

commercial real property. 

8. 

For the 2026 tax year, Respondent established the Subject Property’s 

assessment for property taxes in the following amounts: 

True cash value 

 

Assessed value 

 

Taxable value 

$1,432,640 

 

$716,320 

 

 

$716,320 

 

A copy of the Subject Property’s 2026 Notice of Assessment is attached to this Petition 

as Exhibit A. 

Respondent Erroneously “Uncapped” the Subject Property’s Taxable Value in 2026 

 

9. 

Respondent established the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment in the 

amounts set forth in Paragraph 8 based on Respondent’s conclusion that during

Page 3

Page 3 

calendar year 2025 the Subject Property was subject to a “transfer of ownership” as 

the General Property Tax Act, MCL 211.1 et seq. (the “GPTA”), defines that term. 

10. 

The transaction involving the Subject Property during calendar year 

2025, however, was among commonly controlled entities and otherwise is excluded 

from the definition of “transfer of ownership” under the GPTA. 

11. 

Accordingly, the increase in the Subject Property’s taxable value from 

2025 to 2026 was an error. Under the GPTA, the Subject Property’s taxable value for 

2026 could not exceed $579,927. 

12. 

Based on Respondent’s error in increasing the Subject Property’s 

taxable value from 2025 to 2026, the amount of taxable value in dispute equals 

$136,993. 

Respondent Overestimates the Subject Property’s True Cash Value 

13. 

In addition, and putting aside the erroneous increase in the Subject 

Property’s taxable value from 2025 to 2026, the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment 

overestimates the Subject Property’s true cash value. 

14. 

Petitioner contends that a lawful assessment for the Subject Property 

for the 2026 tax year cannot exceed the following amounts: 

True cash value 

 

Assessed value 

 

Taxable value 

$1,159,854 

 

$579,927 

 

 

$579,927 

 

15. 

The amounts in dispute therefore equal the following amounts: 

True cash value 

 

Assessed value 

 

Taxable value 

$1,159,854 

 

$579,927 

 

 

$579,927 

 

16. 

This Petition presents issues involving whether the Subject Property 

was subject to a “transfer of ownership” under the GPTA, as well as the Subject

Page 4

Page 4 

Property’s valuation for assessment purposes. Petitioner does not believe that this 

Petition presents any issues arising out of “additions” or “losses” as the GPTA defines 

those terms but reserves its right to assert issues involving losses should information 

supporting such issues become available. 

17. 

The Subject Property’s 2026 assessments (a) violate the Michigan 

Constitution, the GPTA, and other Michigan law, (b) are based on erroneous 

principles and information, (c) are based on the misapplication of the GPTA and 

valuation principles, and (d) otherwise violate Petitioner’s rights. 

18. 

Petitioner does not assert that the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment 

is not uniform aside from the lack of uniformity resulting from Respondent 

overestimating the Subject Property’s value. 

Conclusion and Request for Relief 

 

Wherefore, Petitioner respectfully requests that this honorable Tribunal enter 

judgment revising the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment to be consistent with the 

values set forth in Paragraph 14 and granting Petitioner all other relief to which it is 

entitled under Michigan law. 

 

 

 

 

 

Respectfully Submitted,

A copy of the Subject Property’s 2026 Notice of Assessment is attached to this Petition 

as Exhibit A. 

Respondent Erroneously “Uncapped” the Subject Property’s Taxable Value in 2026 

 

9. 

Respondent established the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment in the 

amounts set forth in Paragraph 8 based on Respondent’s conclusion that during

Page 3

Page 3 

calendar year 2025 the Subject Property was subject to a “transfer of ownership” as 

the General Property Tax Act, MCL 211.1 et seq. (the “GPTA”), defines that term. 

10. 

The transaction involving the Subject Property during calendar year 

2025, however, was among commonly controlled entities and otherwise is excluded 

from the definition of “transfer of ownership” under the GPTA. 

11. 

Accordingly, the increase in the Subject Property’s taxable value from 

2025 to 2026 was an error. Under the GPTA, the Subject Property’s taxable value for 

2026 could not exceed $579,927. 

12. 

Based on Respondent’s error in increasing the Subject Property’s 

taxable value from 2025 to 2026, the amount of taxable value in dispute equals 

$136,993. 

Respondent Overestimates the Subject Property’s True Cash Value 

13. 

In addition, and putting aside the erroneous increase in the Subject 

Property’s taxable value from 2025 to 2026, the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment 

overestimates the Subject Property’s true cash value. 

14. 

Petitioner contends that a lawful assessment for the Subject Property 

for the 2026 tax year cannot exceed the following amounts: 

True cash value 

 

Assessed value 

 

Taxable value 

$1,159,854 

 

$579,927 

 

 

$579,927 

 

15. 

The amounts in dispute therefore equal the following amounts: 

True cash value 

 

Assessed value 

 

Taxable value 

$1,159,854 

 

$579,927 

 

 

$579,927 

 

16. 

This Petition presents issues involving whether the Subject Property 

was subject to a “transfer of ownership” under the GPTA, as well as the Subject

Page 4

Page 4 

Property’s valuation for assessment purposes. Petitioner does not believe that this 

Petition presents any issues arising out of “additions” or “losses” as the GPTA defines 

those terms but reserves its right to assert issues involving losses should information 

supporting such issues become available. 

17. 

The Subject Property’s 2026 assessments (a) violate the Michigan 

Constitution, the GPTA, and other Michigan law, (b) are based on erroneous 

principles and information, (c) are based on the misapplication of the GPTA and 

valuation principles, and (d) otherwise violate Petitioner’s rights. 

18. 

Petitioner does not assert that the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment 

is not uniform aside from the lack of uniformity resulting from Respondent 

overestimating the Subject Property’s value. 

Conclusion and Request for Relief 

 

Wherefore, Petitioner respectfully requests that this honorable Tribunal enter 

judgment revising the Subject Property’s 2026 assessment to be consistent with the 

values set forth in Paragraph 14 and granting Petitioner all other relief to which it is 

entitled under Michigan law.
