PETITION #: 

DB25-9001 

Dear Taxpayer: 

Under MCL 211.53b, as amended, of the General Property Tax Act, the Board of 

Review is allowed to consider poverty exemptions on two specific days each year by 

calling a Special Board of Review Meeting. On Tuesday, December 9, 2025 the 

Board of Review convened and received your application for Tax Relief. 

After reviewing all information pertaining to your application, the Board of Review has 

denied your request due to your application being incomplete. 

You may appeal this decision within 30 days to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. Their 

website is www.michigan.govitaxtrib and their phone number is 517-335-9760. 

If you have any questions, you may contact this office at (586) 286-9468. 

Sincerely, 

Elizabeth Schwartz

July/December Board of Review Affidavit 

Issued under authority of PA. 206 of 1893. Filing Is mandatory. 

Petition/Docket #: 

 DB25-3001 

The authority for July/December Board of review action is stated in the General Property Tax Act, MCL 211.53b. The July/December Board of 

Review can take action regarding qualified errors verified by the accessor (MCL 211.53b(1), (8)). The July/December Board of Review can also 

take action under MCL 211.53b regarding a poverty exemption for the current year under MCL 211.74; a qualified agricultural property 

exemption under MCL 211.ee for the current year, which has been denied by the assessor; a qualified agricultural property exemption under 

MCL 211.ee that was not on the assessment roll for the current year and one prior year; or a qualified forest property exemption under MCL 

211.7ji(1) that was not on the assessment roll for the current year and one prier year. In addition, other statutes, such as MCL 211.7b related to 

the disabled veterans exemption, and MCL 211.7ss related to the eligible development property exemption, provide authority for the 

July/December Board of Review to take action. 

Form 3128 (L-4035a) must be completed by the Board of review and made a part of the Board of Review Records whenever a change is made 

to a parcel of property which causes a change in taxable value.

 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

 MTT Docket No. 26-000159

Township Of Clinton,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

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

The petition was not filed on or before July 31 of the tax year appealed, as required by 

MCL 205.735a, or within 30 days of the issuance of a July or December Board of 

Review Decision, as required by MCL 211.53c. 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

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 26-000159

Page 2 of 6

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.

Fee Information

Does the subject property have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition?

No

Are you appealing ONLY the denial of a Poverty Exemption?

Yes

If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, you are not required to pay any filing fees.

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 

highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention will be used to determine your filing fee, plus $25.00 will be added for each additional parcel being 

appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000.

If your property is residential property (see MCL 205.762) and

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: Filing Fee is:

$100,000.00 and under $125.00

$100,000.01 to $500,000.00 $200.00

$Over $500,000.00 $300.00

If your property is NOT residential property (see MCL 205.762) and

the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: Filing Fee is:

$100,000.00 and under $250.00

* Plus $25.00 for each additional parcel, as indicated above.

If your property is NOT residential property and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is $100,000.01 or greater the appeal does not qualify for 

Small Claims. Therefore, an Entire Tribunal petition must be filed.

Small Claims. Therefore, an Entire Tribunal petition must be filed.
