 MTT Docket No. 25-001703

Please be advised that 25-001703 has been placed on a two-week Prehearing General 

Call commencing July 01, 2026. Parties will be notified at least one week before they 

are scheduled to appear.

Parties are required to submit a valuation disclosure or written notification that no 

valuation disclosure is required by the dates indicated herein. A “valuation disclosure” 

is defined as documentary or other tangible evidence in a property tax proceeding that a 

party relies upon in support of the party’s contention as to the true cash value of the 

subject property or any portion thereof and contains the party’s value conclusion and 

data, valuation methodology, analysis or reasoning, as provided by TTR 237.

In accordance with MCR 1.109(D)(9), as of January 1, 2021, the responsibility for 

excluding or redacting personal identifying information (PII) from all documents filed with 

or offered to the Tribunal rests solely with the parties and their attorneys. The 

Tribunal is not responsible for or required to review, redact, or screen documents at the 

time of filing for PII whether filed electronically or on paper. Please refer to the 

Tribunal’s FAQs and Glossary of Terms pages on our website for more information.

IT IS ORDERED that the parties shall:

a. If no valuation disclosure is required, notify the Tribunal and the opposing parties 

in writing within 21 days of entry of this Order that no valuation disclosure is 

being filed. The notice shall indicate the reason or reasons why no valuation 

disclosure is required (i.e., exemption claim, etc.).

b. If a valuation disclosure is required, file and exchange their valuation disclosures 

by March 4, 2026. Valuation disclosures will not be admitted into evidence 

unless disclosed and furnished in accordance with this Order (even though 

admissible) except upon a finding of good cause by the Tribunal.

MTT Docket No. 25-001703

Page 2 of 2

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file and exchange their Prehearing 

Statements by March 4, 2026. Witnesses will not be allowed to testify unless disclosed 

in the Prehearing Statement and the Prehearing Statement is furnished in accordance 

with this Order except upon a finding of good cause by the Tribunal. Failure to file the 

Prehearing Statement may result in holding a party or parties in default, as provided by 

TTR 237. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that “Pre-Valuation Disclosure” discovery is CLOSED on 

March 4, 2026, which means all discovery has been requested, all motions to compel 

have been filed and resolved, and all requested or ordered discovery has been 

exchanged by that date. Discovery relative to the valuation disclosure prepared for 

purposes of litigating this case or the valuation expert that prepared that valuation 

disclosure is not permitted during “Pre-Valuation Disclosure” discovery.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that “Post-Valuation Disclosure” discovery is CLOSED on 

July 1, 2026, which means all discovery has been requested, all motions to compel 

have been filed and resolved, and all requested or ordered discovery has been 

exchanged by that date. “Post-Valuation Disclosure” discovery is limited to the 

opposing party’s valuation disclosure, the opposing party’s valuation expert, and the 

witnesses identified on the opposing party’s Prehearing Statement.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if this case is not scheduled for a date certain 

Prehearing Conference during the time frame indicated it may be scheduled for a date 

certain Prehearing Conference at any time subsequent to the completion date for this 

Prehearing General Call. Parties will, however, be notified in writing approximately one

Petitioner, the taxpayer/party-in-interest, by and through its attorneys, DELZER 

LEGAL, petitions the Tribunal as follows: 

 

1. 

Property Parcel No: 14-32-503-016 

 

2. 

The property identified above is real property. 

 

3. 

The property identified above is Commercial.

3489 Pierson Place, Flushing, Michigan 48433. 

 

6. 

The assessment at issue were established by the Township of Mt. Morris. 

 

7. 

This appeal involves issues relating to (a) valuation, (b) assessment, (c) taxable 

value, and (d) uniformity. At this time, Petitioner is not aware of any dispute 

relative to the value of an addition or loss in determining taxable value. If 

Petitioner hereafter becomes aware of such dispute exists, Petitioner reserves the 

right to amend this Petition to assert the nature of the dispute. 

 

8. 

The Tax Year at issue is 2025.

$78,953 

 

12. 

The 2025 values imposed on Petitioner’s property, and the taxes 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 

erroneous determination of the true cash value of that portion of 

Petitioner’s property that is taxable under Michigan law and is 

based upon the application of wrong principles; 

d. 

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

or assessment adopted by Respondent, discriminate against 

Petitioner, its constitutional rights of uniformity, equal protection 

and due process of law. 

 

Respectfully submitted,
