GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Andrew A Schutte, Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 25-003686 Township Of Grand Haven, 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. Users who file documents with the Michigan Tax Tribunal are advised that filed documents are public records and will appear for public viewing on the Tax Docket Lookup. Users who file documents are responsible for ensuring sensitive or personal identifying information is withheld or redacted. See TTR 209. If a user wishes to file a document for consideration by the Michigan Tax Tribunal and prevent its publication on the Tax Docket Lookup, the user MUST file a Motion for Protective Order under MCR 2.302(C)(8). If a Protective Order is issued, documents covered by the Order will not be published. Documents filed prior to the issuance of a Protective Order will be published. 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. A party, representative, or interested person (i.e. third party not part of an appeal) may request that the Tribunal redact PII contained in a previously-filed document by
Page 2
MTT Docket No. 25-003686 Page 2 of 6 submitting a Request for Redactions. The Request for Redactions form will be available on the Entire Tribunal and Small Claims pages of our website. 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. 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.
