The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and the submitted Stipulation for Entry 

of Consent Judgment (Stipulation) and finds that the Stipulation meets all filing and 

statutory requirements.1 As such, the Tribunal shall enter the Stipulation. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that the Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment including all 

attachments, terms and conditions is GRANTED and ADOPTED, unless otherwise 

indicated. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the officer charged with maintaining the assessment 

rolls for the tax years at issue shall correct or cause the assessment rolls to be 

corrected to reflect the property’s true cash and taxable values as provided in this 

Consent Judgment within 20 days of the entry of the Consent Judgment.2 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the officer charged with collecting or refunding the 

affected taxes shall collect taxes and any applicable interest or issue a refund as 

required by the Consent Judgment within 28 days of the entry of the Consent 

Judgment. If a refund is warranted, it shall, unless otherwise indicated, include a 

proportionate share of any property tax administration fees paid and of penalty and 

interest paid on delinquent taxes. The refund shall also, unless otherwise indicated, 

separately indicate the amount of the taxes, fees, penalties, and interest being 

refunded. A sum determined by the Tribunal to have been unlawfully paid shall, unless 

otherwise indicated, bear interest from the date of payment to the date of judgment and 

the judgment shall bear interest to the date of its payment. A sum determined by the 

Tribunal to have been underpaid shall not bear interest for any time period prior to 28 

days after the issuance of this Consent Judgment. Pursuant to MCL 205.737, interest 

shall accrue (i) after December 31, 2020, through June 30, 2022, at the rate of 4.25%,

Alternate Dispute Resolution Options

INFORMAL SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE: Parties have the option of handling this 

case through an informal settlement conference. An informal settlement conference 

is a meeting between the parties and/or their representatives to discuss the issues in a 

case in an effort to settle the case. This process may be an alternative to a hearing with 

a judge and may result in the parties’ filing a Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment. Visit the Tribunal’s ADR webpage for more information.

NOTE: The parties may not request an informal settlement conference to discuss an 

appeal of a principal residence exemption that was denied by either the Michigan 

Department of Treasury or a County. Also, state taxes levied by the Michigan 

Department of Treasury, such as income taxes, are not subject to the informal 

settlement conference process.

SMALL CLAIMS PETITION 

Petitioners: Irshad & Micheline Chaudry

Property: 5330 River Ridge Dr, Brighton, MI

Parcel: 4711-36-301-282

________________________________________

Appeal

Recent 2024–2025 sales within the Pine Creek Ridge subdivision show that larger comparable homes sold for less than the subject property, indicating the current 

assessment exceeds true market value.

________________________________________

Market Evidence (2024–2025)

•

7203 River Ridge Ct – $1,020,000 (larger, same era) 

•

5523 Hidden Pines Dr – $1,133,000 (much larger) 

•

5258 Hidden Pines Dr – $960,000 (significantly larger) 

•

5468 River Ridge Dr – $885,000 (similar age/location) 

￿ Range: $885K–$1.13M

￿ Larger homes sold for equal or lower prices

________________________________________

Subject Property

•

Purchased 2024: $1,225,000 

•

Built 1999 (25+ years, depreciation) 

•

Older systems/finishes vs newer homes 

•

Two lots combined → loss of buildable lot and reduced value. 

________________________________________

Legal Basis

•

Assessment must reflect true cash value based on recent sales. 

•

SEV = 50% of true cash value 

________________________________________

Requested Value

•

TCV: $1.02M–$1.05M 

•

SEV: $510K–$525K 

•

Adjust Taxable Value accordingly. 

________________________________________

Conclusion

The Board did not dispute the comparable sales but made no adjustment. Petitioners respectfully request that the Tribunal rely on recent neighborhood sales to 

determine true market value.
