MTT Docket No. 26-000730 

 

City of Bloomfield Hills, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent. 

 

Patricia L. Halm 

 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it has no authority over 

Petitioner’s appeal. Based on the information provided in the petition and 

accompanying documentation, Petitioner is seeking a principal residence exemption 

(“PRE”) for the 2019-2026 tax years. However, Petitioner is not appealing the denial of 

a PRE by the local taxing authority or other authorized agency, but rather is attempting 

to apply to the Tribunal directly for such an exemption. Pursuant to MCL 205.731, the 

Tribunal’s authority is limited to “a proceeding for direct review of a final decision, 

finding, ruling, determination, or order of an agency relating to assessment, valuation, 

rates, special assessments, allocation, or equalization, under the property tax laws of 

this state.”1 If there is no final decision, finding, ruling, determination or order, the 

Tribunal has no jurisdiction or authority, and “a court which has determined that it has 

no jurisdiction should not proceed further except to dismiss the action.”2 

 

To obtain a PRE, Petitioner was required to file an affidavit with the assessor of the 

local tax collecting unit. It appears from Respondent’s Answer that Petitioner filed the 

requisite affidavit on March 25, 2026. Documentation submitted with Respondent’s 

Answer indicates that the PRE was not denied. Instead, Respondent granted the PRE 

for the 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023 tax years. Pursuant to MCL 211.7cc(19), 

Respondent’s authority to grant a PRE is limited to “the current calendar year or the 

immediately preceding 3 calendar years.” Thus, Respondent granted Petitioner’s 

request for a PRE to the greatest extent allowed under the law.3 

 

Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that the case is DISMISSED. 

 

This order resolves all pending claims in this matter and closes this case. 

 

1 MCL 205.731(a). 

2 Fox v Board of Regents of the University of Michigan, 375 Mich 238, 243; 134 NW2d 146 (1985). 

3 The Tribunal notes that its ability to grant a PRE is similarly limited and as such, would be unable to 

grant Petitioner’s request for a PRE for the 2019 through 2022 tax years even if its jurisdiction were 

properly invoked.

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 

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.

Respondent acknowledges that MCL 211.7cc(2), as amended by Public Act 141 of 2022, authorizes the local 

assessor to grant a Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) for the current calendar year and the immediately 

preceding three calendar years when the property owner meets the statutory eligibility requirements. 

 

However, the statute does not authorize the local assessor to grant a PRE for tax years beyond that period. The 

assessor’s authority is expressly limited by MCL 211.7cc(2) to the current calendar year and the three immediately 

preceding calendar years. Neither the statute nor Public Act 141 of 2022 provides the assessor with authority to 

retroactively grant a PRE for earlier tax years. 

 

Accordingly, any request for a PRE extending beyond the current calendar year and the three immediately preceding 

calendar years exceeds the authority granted to the local assessor under MCL 211.7cc(2). 

 

2020,2021,2022



Township granted PRE current calendar year and 3 immediate preceding years. No authority to grant years that exceed authority.

Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal

Respondent acknowledges that MCL 211.7cc(2), as amended by Public Act 141 of 2022, authorizes the local assessor to grant a Principal Residence Exemption 

(PRE) for the current calendar year and the immediately preceding three calendar years when the property owner meets the statutory eligibility requirements.

However, the statute does not authorize the local assessor to grant a PRE for tax years beyond that period. The assessor’s authority is expressly limited by MCL 

211.7cc(2) to the current calendar year and the three immediately preceding calendar years. Neither the statute nor Public Act 141 of 2022 provides the assessor 

with authority to retroactively grant a PRE for earlier tax years.

Accordingly, any request for a PRE extending beyond the current calendar year and the three immediately preceding calendar years exceeds the authority granted 

to the local assessor under MCL 211.7cc(2).

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

To the Michigan Tax Tribunal,

I’m writing to request a retroactive Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) for my home at 5520 Crabtree rd.

I purchased the home in September 2019 and have lived in it full time ever since. It has always been my primary residence and has never been used as a rental or 

second home.

At the time I bought the house, I wasn’t aware that I needed to file a separate PRE form. I relied on my realtor and loan team during the process, and this 

requirement was never brought to my attention. Because of that, I didn’t realize anything was missing until much later.

Since then, I’ve seen my property taxes increase significantly compared to what they would have been with the PRE in place. As soon as I became aware of the 

issue, I took steps to correct it.

I’m asking that you consider this as good cause to allow the PRE to be applied retroactively. I’ve consistently lived in the home as my primary residence since 2019, 

and my intent has always been to claim it as such.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Dirk Greene
