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%, 

(ii) after June 30, 2016, through December 31, 2016, at the rate of 4.40%, (iii) after

CORRECTED ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR IN PERSON 

HEARING 

 

ORDER ADJOURNING HEARING 

 

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

Petitioner’s in-person hearing request on July 23, 2025. The Tribunal erred in the entry 

of that order, as it indicated that the proceeding would be held on the day and time 

indicated in the original hearing notices at the Tribunal’s Lansing office. The in-person 

hearing request was timely filed and is properly granted, but the hearing needs to be 

adjourned and rescheduled in the normal course of scheduling. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s In-Person Hearing request is GRANTED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the hearing scheduled to commence on July 31, 2025, 

is ADJOURNED. 

 

The hearing will be rescheduled in the normal course of scheduling.

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

Petitioner’s in-person hearing request on July 23, 2025. The Tribunal erred in the entry 

of that order, as it indicated that the proceeding would be held on the day and time 

indicated in the original hearing notices at the Tribunal’s Lansing office. The in-person 

hearing request was timely filed and is properly granted, but the hearing needs to be 

adjourned and rescheduled in the normal course of scheduling. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s In-Person Hearing request is GRANTED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the hearing scheduled to commence on July 31, 2025, 

is ADJOURNED. 

 

The hearing will be rescheduled in the normal course of scheduling.

Re: Docket 24-003390 

MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL 

2070 Cartier, Flint, MI 48504 

Petitioner: Danish Cooper Retirement LLC 

Agent -—Joen Bodtker 

History: 

The property was purchased on the open market for $48,700 on Jan 26, 2024. 

The City of Flint assessed the property at $49,500. This infers a market value of $99,000. 

Grievance: 

The petitioner maintains the selling price on the open market is the market value. Given the 

condition of the property, it is considered a fair valuation for that location and time. The 

petitioner contends the assessed value should be no more than $25,000 at the time of 

purchase. 

Appended Argument: 

The property was acquired to be used as a rental. To bring it up to a condition that would 

attract good citizens, $21,500 in repairs were made. The total cost to acquire and prepare 

the property is $70,200. The petitioner asserts the property would have been worth no 

more than $70,000 if the repairs werent needed. The property is now registered with the 

City as a rental and has passed rental inspection. 

Appraisal Format Comparisons 

When considering 

the condition and size of the house, the assessor’s calculation appears 

to be overestimated. This comparison applies after the repairs were made to 2070 Cartier. 

Conclusion: 

The assessor's office based it’s ruling on the sales prices of “similar” properties in the area. 

Comparing homes sold in the area of like condition from the prior 12 months, the $70,000 

market value is supported only after repairs were made. Given the condition of 2070

Petitioner: Danish Cooper Retirement LLC

History: 

The property was purchased on the open market for $48,700 on Jan 26, 2024. 

MLS #: 50131097 

) 

Seller’s realtor: Katie White, Katie White Real Estate Group 

Buyer’s realtor: Alyssa Pillsbury, Crown Realty 

The City of Flint assessed the property at $49,500. This infers a market value of $99,000. 

Grievance: 

The petitioner maintains the selling price on the open market is the market value. Given the 

condition of the property; it is considered a fair valuation for that location and time. The 

"petitioner contends the assessed value should be no more than $25,000 at the time of

Of the above listed comparison properties, 817 Frank is closest in sales price and condition 

but it has an additional bedroom. 2524 Thomas was in superior condition compared to 

2070 Cartier. 2453 Norbert is also in superior condition and has more living space. 

Conclusion: 

The assessor’s office based it’s ruling on the sales prices of “similar” properties in the area. 

Comparing homes sold in the area of like condition from the prior 12 months, the $70,000 

market value is supported only after repairs were made. Given the condition of 2070 

Cartier at purchase and adding the abnormal repairs, the petitioner maintains the 

assessed value in the first quarter of 2024 should not exceed $32,000. The market value of 

2070 Cartier should be no more than $64,000.

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

The property was purchased in February 2024 for $48,700.00 

The City of Flint rated the assessed value at $49,500.00 

This would imply the property value was $99,000.00. 

The price paid for the property was on the open market and above other bids. 

The condition of the house and property warranted the sales price. 

We are requesting the City of Flint reduce the assessed value to $24,350 (50% of the 

purchase price) in accordance with Michigan Law.
