IT IS ORDERED that the Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment including all 

attachments, terms and conditions is GRANTED and ADOPTED, unless otherwise 

indicated. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the officer charged with maintaining the assessment 

rolls for the tax years at issue shall correct or cause the assessment rolls to be 

corrected to reflect the property’s true cash and taxable values as provided in this 

Consent Judgment within 20 days of the entry of the Consent Judgment.2 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the officer charged with collecting or refunding the 

affected taxes shall collect taxes and any applicable interest or issue a refund as 

required by the Consent Judgment within 28 days of the entry of the Consent

proportionate share of any property tax administration fees paid and of penalty and 

interest paid on delinquent taxes. The refund shall also, unless otherwise indicated, 

separately indicate the amount of the taxes, fees, penalties, and interest being 

refunded. A sum determined by the Tribunal to have been unlawfully paid shall, unless 

otherwise indicated, bear interest from the date of payment to the date of judgment and 

the judgment shall bear interest to the date of its payment. A sum determined by the 

Tribunal to have been underpaid shall not bear interest for any time period prior to 28 

days after the issuance of this Consent Judgment. Pursuant to MCL 205.737, interest

 MTT Docket No. 24-004105

Township Of Prairieville,

Respondent.

ORDER DENYING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT

The Tribunal has reviewed the case file and the stipulation, filed on December 11, 2024, 

and finds that: a consent judgment can only be entered if a stipulation is filed after the 

filing of a petition and answer. See TTR 249 and 281. Because no answer has been 

filed in this case, the stipulation cannot be entered at this time and must be denied.

IT IS ORDERED that the Parties’ Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment is 

DENIED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a hearing in this case shall be scheduled in the normal 

course.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that because this Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment is no longer pending before the Tribunal, a new stipulation is required for any

 MTT Docket No. 24-004105

Township Of Prairieville,

Respondent.

ORDER DENYING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT

The Tribunal has reviewed the case file and the stipulation, filed on December 11, 2024, 

and finds that: a consent judgment can only be entered if a stipulation is filed after the 

filing of a petition and answer. See TTR 249 and 281. Because no answer has been 

filed in this case, the stipulation cannot be entered at this time and must be denied.

IT IS ORDERED that the Parties’ Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment is 

DENIED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a hearing in this case shall be scheduled in the normal 

course.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that because this Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment is no longer pending before the Tribunal, a new stipulation is required for any 

future settlement. However, if the new stipulation is filed within 14 days of the issuance 

of this Order, no additional filing fee is required.

MTT Docket No. 24-004105

Township Of Prairieville,

Respondent.

ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL

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

is appealing assessments for future tax years. The Tribunal has no authority to 

consider assessments until they have been established by the March Board of Review 

and assessments for future tax years have not yet been established. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s assessment appeal is PARTIALLY DISMISSED. The 

appeal shall continue for the 2024 tax year(s) only.

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.

of a lady bird deed dated May 18, 2023 that was triggered as a result of the passing away of the owner on December 15, 

2023 and a Property Transfer Affidavit not being filed to alert the assessor of the transfer of the remainder. The result of 

this action is a transfer of ownership and therefore results in the TV uncapping for the year following transfer (2024) in 

this case. There are affidavits enclosed to this effect. 

If you disagree with this decision, appeals need to be filed within 35 days of receiving this letter and are limited to 

whether or not a transfer occurred and the uncapping valid — valuations arguments will not be heard. Appeal forms are 

available at: http:/www.michigan.gov/taxtrib/0.4677.7-187-38254---.00.html, and need to be directed to: 

Michigan Tax Tribunal 

Po Box 30232 

Lansing, MI 48909
