ORDER OF PROCEDURE

Campus Village Flint, LLC,

Petitioner,

v

 

 

City Of Flint,

Respondent.

 MTT Docket No. 26-001112

Please be advised that 26-001112 has been placed on a two-week Prehearing General 

Call commencing September 16, 2027. Unless ordered otherwise, parties will be 

notified at least 28 days before they are scheduled to appear. Scheduling will not 

necessarily occur in the order in which the cases are listed below.

Parties are required to submit a valuation disclosure or written notification that no 

valuation disclosure is required by the dates indicated herein. A “valuation disclosure” 

is defined as documentary or other tangible evidence in a property tax proceeding that a 

party relies upon in support of the party’s contention as to the true cash value of the 

subject property or any portion thereof and contains the party’s value conclusion and 

data, valuation methodology, analysis or reasoning. See TTR 203 and TTR 241.

Users who file documents with the Tribunal are advised that filed documents are 

public records and will appear for public viewing on the Tribunal’s Tax Docket 

Lookup. If a user wishes to file a document for consideration by the 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). If a Protective Order is issued, documents 

covered by the order will not be published. Documents filed prior to the issuance of a 

Protective Order will be published.

In accordance with MCR 1.109(D)(9) and TTR 209, the responsibility for excluding or 

redacting personal identifying information (PII) from all documents filed with or offered to 

the Tribunal rests solely with the parties and their attorneys. The Tribunal is not 

responsible for or required to review, redact, or screen documents at the time of filing 

for PII whether filed electronically or on paper. A party, representative, or interested 

person (i.e. third party not part of an appeal) may request that the Tribunal redact PII 

contained in a previously filed document by submitting a Request for Redactions. The 

Request for Redactions form is available on the Entire Tribunal and Small Claims pages 

of the Tribunal’s website. 

Please refer to the Tribunal’s FAQs and Glossary of Terms pages on the Tribunal’s 

website for more information.

Entire Tribunal Property Tax Petition 

 

 

Petitioner Campus Village Flint, LLC, by and through its attorneys, Williams 

Williams Rattner & Plunkett, PC, states as follows for its Entire Tribunal Property 

Tax Petition. 

The Parties 

1. 

Petitioner Campus Village Flint, LLC is a Michigan limited liability 

company with its registered office located at 2545 North Opdyke Road, Auburn Hills, 

Michigan 48326.

Page 2

Petition Page 2 

2. 

Respondent City of Flint is a Michigan city with its primary offices 

located at 1101 S. Saginaw Street, Flint, Michigan 48502. 

The Subject Properties 

3. 

Petitioner owns properties identified as follows: 

Parcel No. 

Address 

40-13-152-007 

500 N Chevrolet Drive 

40-13-152-008 

508 N Chevrolet Drive 

 

They are referred to collectively in this Petition as the “Subject Properties.” 

4. 

The Subject Properties are located in Genesee County and are within 

the Flint City school district. 

5. 

Respondent possesses jurisdiction to assess and collect property taxes 

for the Subject Properties. 

The 2026 Assessments 

6. 

For the 2026 tax year, Respondent classified the Subject Properties as 

commercial real property. 

7. 

For the 2026 tax year, Respondent established the Subject Properties’ 

assessments for property taxes in the amounts set forth on the attached Multiple 

Parcel Form. 

8. 

Petitioner contends that lawful assessments of the Subject Properties 

for the 2026 tax year cannot exceed the amounts set forth on the attached Multiple 

Parcel Form. 

9. 

The amounts in dispute therefore equal the amounts identified on the 

attached Multiple Parcel Form.

Page 3

Petition Page 3 

10. 

This Petition presents issues involving the Subject Properties’ valuation 

for assessment purposes. Petitioner does not believe that this Petition presents any 

issues arising out of “additions” or “losses” as the General Property Tax Act, MCL 

211.1 et seq. (the “GPTA”), defines those terms, but reserves its right to assert issues 

involving losses should information supporting such issues become available. 

11. 

The Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments (a) violate the Michigan 

Constitution, the GPTA, and other Michigan law, (b) are based on erroneous 

principles and information, (c) are based on the misapplication of valuation 

principles, and (d) otherwise violate Petitioner’s rights. 

12. 

Petitioner does not assert that the Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments 

are not uniform aside from the lack of uniformity resulting from Respondent 

overestimating the Subject Properties’ values. 

Conclusion and Request for Relief 

 

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this honorable Tribunal 

enter judgment revising the Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments to amounts that do 

not exceed Petitioner’s contentions of value set forth on the attached Multiple Parcel 

Form and granting Petitioner all other relief to which it is entitled under Michigan 

law. 

Respectfully Submitted,

Entire Tribunal Property Tax Petition 

 

 

Petitioner Campus Village Flint, LLC, by and through its attorneys, Williams 

Williams Rattner & Plunkett, PC, states as follows for its Entire Tribunal Property 

Tax Petition. 

The Parties 

1. 

Petitioner Campus Village Flint, LLC is a Michigan limited liability 

company with its registered office located at 2545 North Opdyke Road, Auburn Hills, 

Michigan 48326.

Page 2

Petition Page 2 

2. 

Respondent City of Flint is a Michigan city with its primary offices 

located at 1101 S. Saginaw Street, Flint, Michigan 48502. 

The Subject Properties 

3. 

Petitioner owns properties identified as follows: 

Parcel No. 

Address 

40-13-152-007 

500 N Chevrolet Drive 

40-13-152-008 

508 N Chevrolet Drive 

 

They are referred to collectively in this Petition as the “Subject Properties.” 

4. 

The Subject Properties are located in Genesee County and are within 

the Flint City school district. 

5. 

Respondent possesses jurisdiction to assess and collect property taxes 

for the Subject Properties. 

The 2026 Assessments 

6. 

For the 2026 tax year, Respondent classified the Subject Properties as 

commercial real property. 

7. 

For the 2026 tax year, Respondent established the Subject Properties’ 

assessments for property taxes in the amounts set forth on the attached Multiple 

Parcel Form. 

8. 

Petitioner contends that lawful assessments of the Subject Properties 

for the 2026 tax year cannot exceed the amounts set forth on the attached Multiple 

Parcel Form. 

9. 

The amounts in dispute therefore equal the amounts identified on the 

attached Multiple Parcel Form.

Page 3

Petition Page 3 

10. 

This Petition presents issues involving the Subject Properties’ valuation 

for assessment purposes. Petitioner does not believe that this Petition presents any 

issues arising out of “additions” or “losses” as the General Property Tax Act, MCL 

211.1 et seq. (the “GPTA”), defines those terms, but reserves its right to assert issues 

involving losses should information supporting such issues become available. 

11. 

The Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments (a) violate the Michigan 

Constitution, the GPTA, and other Michigan law, (b) are based on erroneous 

principles and information, (c) are based on the misapplication of valuation 

principles, and (d) otherwise violate Petitioner’s rights. 

12. 

Petitioner does not assert that the Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments 

are not uniform aside from the lack of uniformity resulting from Respondent 

overestimating the Subject Properties’ values. 

Conclusion and Request for Relief 

 

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this honorable Tribunal 

enter judgment revising the Subject Properties’ 2026 assessments to amounts that do 

not exceed Petitioner’s contentions of value set forth on the attached Multiple Parcel 

Form and granting Petitioner all other relief to which it is entitled under Michigan 

law. 

Respectfully Submitted,
