Unless ordered otherwise, parties will be notified at least 28 days before they are scheduled to appear. Scheduling will not necessarily occur in the order in which the cases are listed below. 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. See TTR 203 and TTR 241. Users who file documents with the Tribunal are advised that filed documents are public records and will appear for public viewing on the Tribunal’s Tax Docket Lookup. If a user wishes to file a document for consideration by the Tribunal and prevent its publication on the Tax Docket Lookup, the user MUST file a Motion for Protective Order under MCR 2.302(C)(8). If a Protective Order is issued, documents covered by the order will not be published. Documents filed prior to the issuance of a Protective Order will be published. In accordance with MCR 1.109(D)(9) and TTR 209, 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. A party, representative, or interested person (i.e. third party not part of an appeal) may request that the Tribunal redact PII contained in a previously filed document by submitting a Request for Redactions. The Request for Redactions form is available on the Entire Tribunal and Small Claims pages of the Tribunal’s website. Please refer to the Tribunal’s FAQs and Glossary of Terms pages on the Tribunal’s website for more information.
