Petitioner, 

SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION 

 

v 

 

MTT Docket No. 26-000202 

 

Michigan Department of Treasury, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent. 

 

Patricia L. Halm 

 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 

On March 5, 2026, Petitioner filed a copy of the Principal Residence Exemption Denial 

Notice in response to the Tribunal’s March 3, 2026 Order of Default. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the response and the case file and finds that Petitioner 

was held in default because they failed to file a copy of the notice giving rise to the 

appeal.1 Although Petitioner timely responded to the Order of Default, their attempt to 

cure is incomplete because the Principal Residence Exemption Denial Notice submitted 

by Petitioner is not a final decision. See MCL 211.7cc(8) and (13) and MCL 205.21(2)(f) 

and (g). As such, Petitioner’s appeal is premature and the Tribunal has no authority to 

hear the appeal or grant the relief requested. See MCL 205.731 and Sixarp, LLC v 

Byron Twp, __Mich__; __NW3d__ (2025). If a final decision (i.e., Decision and Order of 

Determination or Denial of Request for Informal Conference) was issued and 

inadvertently omitted, Petitioner may file a Motion for Reconsideration including a copy 

of the final decision per the appeal rights below. 

 

Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED. 

 

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

 

1 The order further stated, “Failure to comply with this order will result in the defaulted party being 

required to file a motion to set aside the default (with appropriate filing fee).”

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.
