MTT Docket No. 25-003405 Page 2 of 4 HEARING INFORMATION – PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY GENERAL INFORMATION: An impartial hearing will be conducted in accordance with the Michigan Tax Tribunal Rules (R 792.10201-R 792.10297) and the Michigan Administrative Procedures Act, MCL 24.201 et seq. The Michigan Rules of Evidence and the Michigan Court Rules may be applicable. Parties are expected to exercise proper respect and courtesy toward other parties, witnesses, and administrative law judges, which includes attending the hearing on time, silencing cell phones, and choosing a quiet, private location to participate in the hearing to limit distractions and ensure minimal background noise. The hearing may be recorded for notetaking purposes, but the recording is not a formal record, unless otherwise provided for by the Tribunal. REPRESENTATION: You may have an attorney or anyone else of your choice represent you at the hearing. 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 both 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 both the Tribunal and the opposing party, the documents may be excluded. Documents may be submitted to the Tribunal by mail or through the Tribunal’s electronic filing (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 in this case. 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 valuation appeals once the assessment has been established for that tax year. For purposes of administrative efficiency, the Tribunal considers this date April 1st. As such, the parties should submit documentation and be prepared to discuss subsequent tax year assessments at hearings to be conducted on or after April 1st in a subsequent year. If the hearing is to be conducted prior to April 1st in a subsequent year, taxpayers are required to file a new petition and, if necessary, protest the subsequent tax year assessment at the March Board of Review for that year. MOTIONS/REQUESTS: A motion is a written request filed by a party asking the Tribunal to take certain action. The following motions and requests may be filed by either party regarding the scheduled hearing. Motions and requests may be submitted to the Tribunal by mail or through the Tribunal’s e-filing system. Motions and requests 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, motions and requests 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. 1. Motion to Adjourn: Parties may request the hearing be rescheduled (i.e. adjourned). The motion must be submitted to both the Tribunal and the opposing party at least 28 days before the hearing unless there are emergency circumstances. The emergency circumstances must be detailed to justify the granting of what

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.

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).

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.
