ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it entered an order 

holding Petitioner in default on September 23, 2026, because Petitioner did not submit a 

copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal.1 Petitioner was required to cure the default 

within 14 days. Petitioner has had ample time to comply, yet has failed to respond or 

submit the required filings. Though the Tribunal finds an extension of time to cure the 

default appropriate, Petitioner’s failure to comply with Tribunal orders and its Rules of 

Practice and Procedure has established a history of deliberate delay that would justify 

dismissal of the case for failure to timely comply with this order.2 

 

Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that the time for Petitioner to cure the default is EXTENDED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must complete the following to cure the 

default: (1) file a copy of the March Board of Review decision, (2) file a Motion to Set 

Aside Default, (3) pay the $25.00 fee required for the filing of the motion, and (4) file 

proof the motion was served on Respondent. The foregoing must be filed with the 

Tribunal within 14 days of the entry of this order.3 

 

 

1 The order further stated, “Failure to comply with this order will result in the defaulted party being 

required to file a motion to set aside the default (with appropriate filing fee).” 

2 See Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). 

3 “A submission by mail is considered filed on the date indicated by the United States Postal Service 

postmark on the envelope containing the submission. A submission without a postmark or with an illegible 

postmark is considered filed on the date the submission is received by the tribunal. A submission by 

commercial delivery service is considered filed on the date the submission is given to the commercial 

service for delivery to the tribunal as indicated by the receipt date on the package containing the 

submission. A submission by personal service is considered filed on the date the submission is received. 

A submission through the tribunal’s e-filing system by 11:59 p.m. on a business day is considered filed on 

that business day. A submission by email to the email address designated by the tribunal by 11:59 p.m. 

on a business day is considered filed on that business day. A submission on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a 

holiday is considered filed on the following business day, as provided by section 35a of the tax tribunal 

act, MCL 205.735a.” TTR 225(5).

The assessed value does not accurately reflect the property's actual condition or fair market value. The property's current condition significantly diminishes its 

market value compared to similarly assessed residential properties in the area.

The property requires extensive repairs, including but not limited to:

•

A complete interior rehabilitation. 

•

Replacement of exterior doors. 

•

Replacement of windows throughout the property. 

•

Repairs and upgrades necessary to meet applicable building and housing code requirements. 

•

Additional improvements are required before the property can be safely occupied or marketed. 

Because of its condition, the property cannot command the same value as comparable homes that are habitable and in average or good condition. A prudent 

purchaser would factor the significant rehabilitation costs into the purchase price, resulting in a substantially lower market value.

Jurisdictional Issues:

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

If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: March

If No, please check the applicable reason(s):

Year(s) Under Appeal:

0

The assessed value does not accurately reflect the property's actual condition or fair market value. The property's current condition significantly diminishes its 

market value compared to similarly assessed residential properties in the area.

The property requires extensive repairs, including but not limited to:

•

A complete interior rehabilitation. 

•

Replacement of exterior doors. 

•

Replacement of windows throughout the property. 

•

Repairs and upgrades necessary to meet applicable building and housing code requirements. 

•

Additional improvements are required before the property can be safely occupied or marketed. 

Because of its condition, the property cannot command the same value as comparable homes that are habitable and in average or good condition. A prudent 

purchaser would factor the significant rehabilitation costs into the purchase price, resulting in a substantially lower market value.
