The Tribunal does not recommend or appoint representatives for you and will not pay for your representative. WITNESSES: You may have anyone join you at the hearing to speak in support of your case. However, the time to present your case is limited and additional time may not be provided to accommodate witness testimony. DOCUMENTATION: Parties are required to submit all documents in support of their contentions to the Tribunal and the opposing party at least 21 days before the hearing date even if the documents were previously submitted to the local Board of Review or the Michigan Department of Treasury. If the documents are not timely submitted to the Tribunal and the opposing party, the documents may be excluded. Documents may be submitted 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 submission by e-mail. If sent by mail, the documents must be sent to the opposing party or their authorized representative at the address identified in the petition or answer for that party or authorized representative, unless the party or authorized representative filed an appearance or other documentation identifying a different mailing address. The documents do not need to be resubmitted after the Notice of Hearing if they were previously submitted to the Tribunal and the opposing party. If a hearing had previously been scheduled in this case and adjourned, and the adjournment order indicates that the parties are precluded from submitting any further documentary evidence, no further documentary evidence will be accepted even if filed and exchanged, as indicated above. Inclusion of Subsequent Tax Years: Subsequent tax year assessments are automatically included in a valuation appeal once the assessment has been established for that tax year unless the Tribunal grants the exclusion of the subsequent tax year. For purposes of administrative efficiency, the Tribunal considers this date April 1st. As such, the parties should be prepared to discuss all additional assessments at hearings to be conducted on or after April 1st. If the hearing is to be conducted prior to April 1st, taxpayers would be required to file a new petition and, if necessary, protest the subsequent tax year assessment at the March Board of Review for that tax year. MOTIONS/REQUESTS: A motion is a written request filed by a party asking the Tribunal to take certain action.
