STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL · 611 W. OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Anna M Quagon, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 25-002254 Alpena Township, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm ORDER OF DISMISSAL The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that Petitioner was placed in default on June 4, 2025, because Petitioner filed a Petition for Denial of Principal Residence Exemption rather than the correct petition, a Petition for Veterans Exemption. On July 25, 2025, the Tribunal extended the time for Petitioner to cure the default by an additional 14 days and they have failed to respond. Petitioner has not complied with either order, and the latter stated that “failure to comply with this Order may result in the dismissal of the case . . .” and referenced Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury.1 In Grimm, the Michigan Court of Appeals summarized factors that the Tribunal should consider before imposing the sanction of dismissal. Those factors are: (1) whether the violation was wilful or accidental; (2) the party's history of refusing to comply with previous court orders; (3) the prejudice to the opposing party; (4) whether there exists a history of deliberate delay; (5) the degree of compliance with other parts of the court's orders; (6) attempts to cure the defect; and (7) whether a lesser sanction would better serve the interests of justice.2 Here, Petitioner’s failure to comply with multiple orders has established a history of deliberate delay. As a result, giving careful consideration to the factors involved and considering all options in determining what sanction is just and proper, the Tribunal finds that dismissal is appropriate, and a lesser sanction would not be appropriate in light of Petitioner’s history of noncompliance in this case. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED. This order resolves all pending claims in this matter and closes this case. 1 Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). 2 Id. at 149.

MTT Docket No. 25-002254 Page 2 of 2 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 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.

Yes. If a disabled veteran or unremarried surviving spouse applied for and was denied the exemption due to other joint tenants or co-owners, the disabled veteran or unremarried surviving spouse can execute a new deed that removes the other owners.

GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Anna M Quagon, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 25-002254 Alpena Township, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that Petitioner was held in default on June 4, 2025, for failing to file the correct petition for the issue under appeal. Petitioner was required to file a Petition for Veterans Exemption indicating the docket number previously assigned by the Tribunal and if utilizing the Tribunal’s e-filing system, file as an “amended petition.” Petitioner has had ample time to comply yet has failed to respond or submit the required filings. Though the Tribunal finds an extension of time to cure the default appropriate, Petitioner’s failure to comply with Tribunal orders and its Rules of Practice and Procedure has established a history of deliberate delay that would justify dismissal of the case for failure to timely comply with this Order.1 Further, the Tribunal finds that Petitioner is appealing an exemption claim for future tax years. The Tribunal has no authority to consider exemption claims for future tax years unless the claim for those years is denied by the assessor under MCL 211.7c(c). IT IS ORDERED that the time for Petitioner to cure the default is EXTENDED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must complete the following to cure the default: (1) file a Petition for Veterans Exemption indicating the docket number previously assigned by the Tribunal and if utilizing the Tribunal’s e-filing system, file as an “amended petition, (2) file a Motion to Set Aside Default, and (3) file proof the motion was served on Respondent. The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal within 14 days of the entry of this Order.2 1 See Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). 2 “A submission by mail is considered filed on the date indicated by the United States Postal Service postmark on the envelope containing the submission. A submission without a postmark or with an illegible postmark is considered filed on the date the submission is received by the tribunal.
