Brian Gabel, 

Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

 MTT Docket No. 25-003082

City Of Novi,

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.

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.

Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply)

True Cash and Taxable Value, Uncapping of Taxable Value

 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

Three reasons for appeal...

1) A new garage was built with a second floor for storage. It was assessed as "75% good"; where 100% is fully finished living space ("Overhang"). It should be 

more typical of storage / garage space, at 10 to 15% of livable space.

 a) the garage, including the second floor, is not finished (bare floor, studs, and rafters)

 b) the garage, including second floor, has no electricity, heat, or plumbing. It will have electricity when it is

 complete, but does not have it yet.

 c) During project planning, I talked to two assessors at the City of Novi in 2020 (Stacy) and 2021 (Darin) 

 before planning our project and was informed that an unfinished space used for storage above the 

 garage would be taxed at "much less than living space".

2) A few details in the assessment are incorrect... 

 a) shows 592 sq ft finished basement, but only 336 sq ft is actually finished

 b) shows heated sunroom (CGEP), but it is not actually heated (not living space)

 C) shows a built-in microwave but we don't have one

3) Other items were uncapped from the IRM that have not changed since we owned the house in 2010

 (sunroom, finished basement, brick patio, balconies). 

Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues

Year(s) you are appealing:

2025

Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)? Yes

If Yes, check which BOR you attended AND upload the BOR decision: March

If No, check the applicable reason(s):

Did you request a Poverty Exemption at the BOR? 

If Yes, check which BOR considered your application AND upload the BOR decision: 

 March  July  December

If No, explain why:

The filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention. If you are appealing more than one parcel, the parcel with the

I aempted to fill out the Tax Tribunal Property Tax Appeal Peon mulple mes 

prior to the deadline of July 31. Unfortunately, the online eFile system connually 

reset to the login screen at random mes during the process to submit the form. I 

checked all PC system requirements, tried mulple web browsers, and aempted 

to fill it out on an iPhone. None of these worked… all would default back to the 

login screen somewhere during the process. 

 

I sent an email to the Tax Tribunal explaining the situation on July 31, then attempted to 

upload again on Aug 1 and Aug 2, but the eFile system was still not working properly. 

Finally, on Aug 3, I was able to complete the full eFile form, and upload my City’s 2025 BOR 

Review decision. 

Please accept my eFiled forms which were input on Aug 3, based on the prior issues I had 

with uploading the information.
