ORDER GRANTING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT 

 

CONSENT JUDGMENT 

 

The Tribunal has reviewed the Stipulation and finds that it comports with the mandates 

of State law.1 As a result, the Tribunal shall enter the parties’ Stipulation. Therefore, 

 

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 

Judgment. If a refund is warranted, it shall, unless otherwise indicated, include a 

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 

shall accrue (i) after December 31, 2013, through June 30, 2016, at the rate of 4.25%,

Unless Respondent was defaulted, this case is ready to be scheduled for a Small 

Claims hearing and will be scheduled in the normal course of scheduling. You will 

receive a Notice of Hearing from the Tribunal by e-mail if you have identified an email 

address in the petition or other documentation. The Notice of Hearing will inform you of 

the date, time, and location of your hearing (note that your hearing will likely be 

conducted by telephone). Please read the Notice of Hearing as it includes important 

information.

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. If the documents are not timely submitted to the Tribunal and served on the 

opposing party, the documents may be excluded. Documents may be filed with the

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.

Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal 

The Petitioner did come to the March Board of Review, March 12, 2025. 

The Petitioner Protested the Assessed Value of the property. 

The Petitioner stated to the MBOR, that the property assessment seemed Grossely out of line. The MBOR agreed; the board then 

questioned the Assessor on the Value. The Assessor said that when she looked at the property as the appeals came in she found 

an error with the imputting of the new construction home in an old area. There was an error by the appraiser that was imputting the 

new construction. The normal process would be to take the error to the July Board of Review. Being the property was alreading 

being appealed the March Board of Review they asked what the change would be. Changing the ECF would have changed the 

2025 AV and TV to 462,400. 

The MBOR lowered 

it further down to 435,000. 

The petitioner conteds his home is like these two homes. 

12655 27 Mile Road-is a mostly frame home with no basement and no porte cochere. it is a lesser quaility built home, with a sink 

hole in the back yard and is directly next to a 425.12" edison tower easement. 

During a divorice process the home did go up for sale 

in 2024; it had a pending offer @ $739,990. 

It then went off the market and one of the owners still lives in the home. This home is 

assessed at 337,200 for the 2025 Year. That would make the true cash value $674,400. 

Parcel Number 24-04-35-400-011 does not exist. 

13031 26 Mile Road is a good comparable, except it didn't sell. 24-04-35-400-018 This home is also a partial frame home with less 

acerage. There is no porte cochere on this home. This home is on one of the 4 Regional Roads we have in Washington 

Township. 

Regonal Roads are the busiest roads, besides freeways. This home is assessed at 413,400 for the 2025 Year. That 

would make the true cash value $826,800.
