BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR Charles Fred Turner, Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-002931 City Of Ecorse, Respondent. ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that Petitioner is appealing assessments for prior tax years and the Tribunal has no authority over those assessments under MCL 205.735a, as the petition was not timely filed.1 Further, the Tribunal also has no authority over those assessments, as the facts alleged do not establish that the assessments were the result of a clerical error (i.e., “an error of a transpositional, typographical, or mathematical nature”) or a mutual mistake of fact (i.e., “an erroneous belief, which is shared and relied on by both parties”).2 Rather, the facts alleged indicate a valuation dispute that does not involve the correction of a clerical error or mutual mistake of fact. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s assessment appeal is PARTIALLY DISMISSED. The appeal shall continue for the 2026 tax year(s) only. By: /s/ Patricia L.
