4. 

On October 8, 2025, Petitioner filed a response to the Order of Default. See 

Exhibit A. 

5. 

In that response, Petitioner provided evidence that it timely appeared before 

the Board of Review. However, the Board of Review refused to issue any notice of action 

taken. 

6. 

Notwithstanding Petitioner's timely appearance before the Board of Review, 

the Tribunal dismissed this matter pursuant to an Order dated November 12, 2025. 

7. 

In that Order, the Tribunal claimed that “Petitioner failed to protest the 

assessment to Respondent's March Board of Review, as required by MCL 205.735a". 

See Exhibit B. 

8. 

That statement 

is factually incorrect, and constitutes palpable and legal 

error, requiring the Tribunal to set aside its Order of Dismissal and reinstate this matter. 

9. 

The Tribunal has conflated the statutory obligation to appear before the 

Board of Review, which Petitioner did, with the issuance of a Notice of Action by the Board 

of Review, which Respondent failed and refused to issue. 

10. 

In the Notice of Assessment issue by Respondent, which 

is the only 

document provided directly to the taxpayer, the Respondent identifies the dates upon 

which the Board of Review would meet. Those meeting dates commenced on March 10, 

2025, and concluded on March 29, 2025. 

11. 

Petitioner appeared before the Board of Review on March 17, 2025, two

Page 3

Respondent claimed, for the first time, that the deadline for filing before the Board of 

Review was March 10, 2025. 

13. 

This correspondence also claims that the deadline for filing was “specified 

in all public notices”. This is untrue. The only notice provided to the taxpayer is the Notice 

of Assessment, which contains no such deadline. See Exhibit D. 

14. 

Put simply, 

Petitioner appeared 

before the Board 

of Review and has 

satisfied all statutory jurisdictional obligations to pursue this appeal. 

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Tribunal enter 

an Order Setting Aside Order of Dismissal, reinstate this matter, and set it for hearing.

2. 

The Notice of Assessment from the City listed numerous available

However, the City takes the position, unsupported by its Notice of 

Assessment, that the deadline was two weeks prior to the last listed Board of 

Review date. Correspondence from the City is attached.

Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

 MTT Docket No. 25-002995

City of Detroit,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that:

Petitioner failed to protest the assessment to Respondent’s March Board of Review, as 

required by MCL 205.735a. As such, and inasmuch as the Tribunal has no equitable 

power to waive or otherwise disregard statutory filing requirements and deadlines, it has 

no authority to hear the appeal or grant the relief requested. See Sixarp, LLC v Byron 

Twp, __Mich__; __NW3d__ (2025). 

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the case is DISMISSED.

This order resolves all pending issues and closes the case.

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.

MTT Docket No. 25-002995

Page 2 of 6

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.
