DGI Fulton LLC,

Petitioner,

v

 

 

Township of Grand Rapids,

Respondent.

 MTT Docket No. 25-002316

Please be advised that 25-002316 has been placed on a two-week Prehearing General 

Call commencing July 16, 2026. Parties will be notified at least one week before they 

are scheduled to appear.

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, as provided by TTR 237.

In accordance with MCR 1.109(D)(9), as of January 1, 2021, 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. Please refer to the 

Tribunal’s FAQs and Glossary of Terms pages on our website for more information.

IT IS ORDERED that the parties shall:

a. If no valuation disclosure is required, notify the Tribunal and the opposing parties 

in writing within 21 days of entry of this Order that no valuation disclosure is 

being filed. The notice shall indicate the reason or reasons why no valuation 

disclosure is required (i.e., exemption claim, etc.).

b. If a valuation disclosure is required, file and exchange their valuation disclosures 

by March 19, 2026. Valuation disclosures will not be admitted into evidence 

unless disclosed and furnished in accordance with this Order (even though 

admissible) except upon a finding of good cause by the Tribunal.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file and exchange their Prehearing 

Statements by March 19, 2026. Witnesses will not be allowed to testify unless 

disclosed in the Prehearing Statement and the Prehearing Statement is furnished in 

accordance with this Order except upon a finding of good cause by the Tribunal. 

Failure to file the Prehearing Statement may result in holding a party or parties in 

default, as provided by TTR 237. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that “Pre-Valuation Disclosure” discovery is CLOSED on 

March 19, 2026, which means all discovery has been requested, all motions to compel 

have been filed and resolved, and all requested or ordered discovery has been 

exchanged by that date. Discovery relative to the valuation disclosure prepared for 

purposes of litigating this case or the valuation expert that prepared that valuation 

disclosure is not permitted during “Pre-Valuation Disclosure” discovery.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that “Post-Valuation Disclosure” discovery is CLOSED on 

July 16, 2026, which means all discovery has been requested, all motions to compel 

have been filed and resolved, and all requested or ordered discovery has been 

exchanged by that date. “Post-Valuation Disclosure” discovery is limited to the 

opposing party’s valuation disclosure, the opposing party’s valuation expert, and the 

witnesses identified on the opposing party’s Prehearing Statement.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if this case is not scheduled for a date certain
