Page 2 of 5

Respondent acknowledges Petitioner’s beliefs as to the issues in this appeal, but denies

that those issues have merit and also denies that Petitioner is entitled to any relief.

Respondent admits that the 2026 tax year is under appeal by Petitioner but denies any

issue with the 2026 tax year’s assessment.

The values for the property identified above as established by Respondent’s Board of

Review are:

Parcel Number

TCV

SEV

02-14-05-176-011

$2,575,060

$1,287,530

Respondent contends that the values for the property identified above are:

Parcel Number

TCV

SEV

02-14-05-176-011

$2,575,060

$1,287,530

10.

The values in dispute for the property identified above are:

Parcel Number

TCV

SEV

02-14-05-176-011

11.

Petitioner is not entitled to the relief requested in Paragraph 11, including all

subparagraphs, for the reason that Petitioner’s amounts do not reflect the accurate

valuations for this property. Furthermore, the assessed, state equalized and/or taxable

values do not exceed permitted amounts, do not exceed the percentage for true cash value

permitted by law, were correctly determined and are based upon correct application of

proper principals, and the values and Respondent’s mode of assessment are non-

discriminatory and constitutional.

WHEREFORE, Respondent City of Auburn Hills requests the Tribunal dismiss the

Petition, affirm Respondent’s assessed and taxable values, subject to county and state

equalization, and award Respondent its costs and attorney fees.

AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES

Respondent City of Auburn Hills asserts the following affirmative defenses:

Petitioner fails to allege specific and sufficient facts to set forth a cause of action

against Respondent and to support its claim for relief.

The Tribunal is charged with finding a property’s true cash value to determine the

property’s lawful assessment. Alhi Development Co v Orion Twp, 110 Mich App 764, 767

(1981).

Petitioner has the burden of establishing the property’s true cash value. See

MCL 205.737(3) and Kern v Pontiac Twp, 93 Mich App 612 (1974).

Petitioner has failed to allege specific and sufficient facts to establish fraud, error

of law, discrimination, application of wrong principles, or illegality on the part of Respondent or

its agents.

Petitioner has failed to allege that the mode and method of assessing the subject

property fails to conform to the mode and method applied in the case of all other properties in

Respondent’s taxing unit for the year in question.

Petitioner has failed to show that any factor other than fifty percent (50%) was

applied to the true cash value of Petitioner’s property, as well as all others, to arrive at the

Page 4

Entire Tribunal Property Tax Answer

Page 4 of 5

respective assessments appearing on the roll, and also fails to allege specific and sufficient facts

to support its allegations that the property’s taxable value is improper.

Petitioner asks the Tribunal to grant it preference by application of a self-chosen

method of assessment contrary to the intent, purpose and law of this State.

Petitioner, in essence, asks the Tribunal to grant it an illegal preference by

application of a method of assessment different from that employed in the assessment of other

properties in Respondent’s taxing unit.

Petitioner, in essence, seeks by petition to challenge the process of county and

state equalization as to which it has no legal standing and cannot maintain a cause of action.

10.

Any decrease in the value of Petitioner’s property was a result of its own

intentional acts and/or negligence and cannot be allowed to reduce Petitioner’s otherwise

equitable tax burden.

11.

Respondent has properly and lawfully assessed Petitioner’s property and

established its taxable value in accordance with statutory and constitutional requirements.

12.

Petitioner has failed to pursue its appeal in a timely fashion.

13.

Respondent reserves the right to raise additional affirmative defenses as the same

may become known to it during the course of these proceedings.

Petitioner relies upon the following to support the relief requested: 

The 2026 values imposed on Petitioner’s property, and the taxes to be levied and collected 

thereon, are invalid and unlawful and operate as fraud upon the taxpayer for the reasons 

that: 

(a) 

The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values exceed the amounts permitted 

by the Michigan Constitution and applicable statutes; 

(b) 

The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values are at higher percentages of true 

cash value 

than permissible 

under the Michigan 

Constitution and applicable 

statutes; 

(c) 

The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values are based upon an erroneous 

determination of the true cash value of that portion of Petitioner’s property that is 

taxable under Michigan law and are based upon the application of wrong principles; 

and 

(d) 

The assessed, state equalized and/or taxable values, and the mode of assessment 

adopted by Respondent, discriminate 

against Petitioner and deny Petitioner its 

constitutional rights of uniformity, equal protection and due process of law. 

Petitioner requests that the Tribunal enter an order reducing the 2026 values from those established 

by Respondent’s Board of Review to those contended by Petitioner, and order refunds attributable 

to the reductions, with interest, as provided by the Tax Tribunal Act.
