 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

 MTT Docket No. 25-003688

Township Of Kenockee,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

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

The petition was not filed by July 31 or the next business day after the Tribunal offices 

were closed. See MCL 205.735a(6). As such, and inasmuch as the Tribunal has no 

equitable power to waive or otherwise disregard statutory filing requirements and 

deadlines, it has no authority to hear the appeal or grant the relief requested. See 

Sixarp, LLC v Byron Twp, __Mich__; __NW3d__ (2025). 

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the case is DISMISSED.

This order resolves all pending issues and closes the case.

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.

Page 2 of 6

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.

| purchased a residential property located at 10400 Brandon Rd. in Kenockee Twp. in 2023. 

| paid the winter 2023 

taxes. 

Upon paying the 2024 summer taxes 

i saw the tax bill was high but paid it. When 

i recieved the 2024 winter 

tax bill 

i then realized the SEV had substantially went up thus the high tax bill, 

| then spoke to our township assesor about the high SEV and the county assessor. 

| was advised to pay the tax and 

schedule an appointment at the boatrd of review in March with the understanding 

i would receive a credit for the 

overpayment in 2024 

. 

| did understand the cap had fallen off due to the sale and purchase of the property, but 

i could 

not understand how high the SEV went up. 

The property purchased was in desrepair and the intent was to clean it up 

, make repairs and help my son out on his 

first home. 

| hired a professional appraisal firm to perform an appraisal of the property to have the ability to state my 

case at the board of review. 

Kenockee township established an SEV of $133,700.00 in 2023. The SEV went up to $183,100.00 in 2024. The 

appraisal company established a value of $224,500.00 performed in December of 2024. 

| am seeking some assistance to seek the overpayment of property taxes in 2024 due to the over valuation of the 

property.

Upon paying the 2024 summer taxes 

i saw the tax bill was high but paid it. When 

i recieved the 2024 winter 

tax bill 

i then realized the SEV had substantially went up thus the high tax bill, 

| then spoke to our township assesor about the high SEV and the county assessor. 

| was advised to pay the tax and 

schedule an appointment at the boatrd of review in March with the understanding 

i would receive a credit for the 

overpayment in 2024 

. 

| did understand the cap had fallen off due to the sale and purchase of the property, but 

i could 

not understand how high the SEV went up. 

The property purchased was in desrepair and the intent was to clean it up 

, make repairs and help my son out on his 

first home. 

| hired a professional appraisal firm to perform an appraisal of the property to have the ability to state my 

case at the board of review. 

Kenockee township established an SEV of $133,700.00 in 2023. The SEV went up to $183,100.00 in 2024. The 

appraisal company established a value of $224,500.00 performed in December of 2024. 

| am seeking some assistance to seek the overpayment of property taxes in 2024 due to the over valuation of the 

property.
