HEARING INFORMATION – PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY

GENERAL INFORMATION: An impartial hearing will be conducted in accordance with the Michigan Tax 

Tribunal Rules (R 792.10201-R 792.10297) and the Michigan Administrative Procedures Act, MCL 24.201 et 

seq. The Michigan Rules of Evidence and the Michigan Court Rules may be applicable. A party is expected to 

exercise proper respect and courtesy toward other parties, witnesses and administrative law judges, which 

includes attending the hearing on time, silencing cell phones, and dressing in appropriate clothing for in-person 

hearings. The hearing may be recorded for notetaking purposes, but the recording is not a formal record, 

unless otherwise provided for by the Tribunal.

REPRESENTATION: You may have an attorney or anyone else of your choice represent you at the hearing. 

The Tribunal does not recommend or appoint representatives for you and will not pay for your representative.

WITNESSES: You may have anyone join you at the hearing to speak in support of your case. However, the 

time to present your case is limited and additional time may not be provided to accommodate witness 

testimony.

DOCUMENTATION: Parties are required to submit all documents in support of their contentions to the Tribunal 

and the opposing party at least 21 days before the hearing date even if the documents were previously 

submitted to the local Board of Review or the Michigan Department of Treasury. If the documents are not 

timely submitted to the Tribunal and the opposing party, the documents may be excluded. Documents may be 

submitted by mail or through the Tribunal’s e-filing system. Documents may be sent to the opposing party by 

mail or by e-mail, if the parties agree to submission by e-mail. If sent by mail, the documents must be sent to 

the opposing party or their authorized representative at the address identified in the petition or answer for that 

party or authorized representative, unless the party or authorized representative filed an appearance or other 

documentation identifying a different mailing address. The documents do not need to be resubmitted after 

the Notice of Hearing if they were previously submitted to the Tribunal and the opposing party.

If a hearing had previously been scheduled in this case and adjourned, and the adjournment order indicates 

that the parties are precluded from submitting any further documentary evidence, no further documentary 

evidence will be accepted even if filed and exchanged, as indicated above.

Inclusion of Subsequent Tax Years: Subsequent tax year assessments are automatically included in a 

valuation appeal once the assessment has been established for that tax year unless the Tribunal grants the 

exclusion of the subsequent tax year. For purposes of administrative efficiency, the Tribunal considers this 

date April 1st. As such, the parties should be prepared to discuss all additional assessments at hearings to be 

conducted on or after April 1st. If the hearing is to be conducted prior to April 1st, taxpayers would be required to 

file a new petition and, if necessary, protest the subsequent tax year assessment at the March Board of 

Review for that tax year. 

MOTIONS/REQUESTS: A motion is a written request filed by a party asking the Tribunal to take certain action. 

The following motions and requests (including subpoenas) may be filed by either party regarding the scheduled 

hearing. Motions and requests may be submitted by mail or through the Tribunal’s “e-filing” system, if available. 

If a motion or request is not granted or the Tribunal has not notified you that it has been granted, you are 

required to attend the hearing.

1. Motion to Adjourn: A party may request the hearing be rescheduled (i.e. adjourned). The motion must be 

submitted to the Tribunal and the opposing party at least 28 days before the hearing unless there are 

emergency circumstances. The emergency circumstances must be detailed to justify the granting of what 

would otherwise be considered a late motion. A $25 fee is required for the filing of the motion unless the case 

involves the valuation of property and the property at issue had a principal residence exemption of at least 50% 

at the time the petition was filed, for the tax years at issue, or the sole issue being appealed relates to a

Page 3

MTT Docket No. 24-003489

Page 3 of 12

poverty exemption. If the motion is not granted or the Tribunal has not notified the parties that it has been 

granted, the parties are required to attend the hearing. 

2. Hear on File Option: If a party is unable to attend a hearing, that party may participate in the hearing by 

submitting a written request asking to have that party’s side of the case “heard on the file”. The request must 

be submitted to the Tribunal
