MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

MTT Docket No. 26-000994

City Of Kalamazoo,

Respondent.

NOTICE OF FILING

TAKE NOTICE that a Small Claims answer has been filed and the electronic copy of the 

answer can be reviewed by utilizing the Docket Lookup on the Tribunal’s website. 

Unless Respondent was defaulted, this case is ready to be scheduled for a Small 

Claims hearing and will be scheduled in the normal course of scheduling. You will 

receive a Notice of Hearing from the Tribunal by e-mail if you have identified an email 

address in the petition or other documentation. The Notice of Hearing will inform you of 

the date, time, and location of your hearing (note that your hearing will likely be 

conducted by telephone). Please read the Notice of Hearing as it includes important 

information.

EVIDENCE: Parties are required to submit all evidence to the Tribunal and send a copy 

to the opposing party at least 21 days before the hearing date even if the documents 

had been submitted to the local Board of Review or the Michigan Department of 

Treasury. If the documents are not timely submitted to the Tribunal and served on the 

opposing party, the documents may be excluded. Documents may be filed with the 

Tribunal 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 service by e-mail.

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.

MEDIATION: Parties have the option of handling this case through mediation. 

Mediation is a voluntary process where a mediator facilitates communication between 

the parties, assists in identifying issues, and helps explore solutions to promote a 

mutually acceptable settlement. 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.

If you have any questions, please contact the Tribunal by phone at (517) 335-9760 or 

email taxtrib@michigan.gov.

City Of Kalamazoo,

Respondent.

ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL

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

is appealing assessments for prior tax years and the Tribunal has no authority over 

those assessments under MCL 205.735a, as the petition was not timely filed.1 Further, 

the Tribunal also has no authority over those assessments, as the facts alleged do not 

establish that the assessments were the result of a clerical error (i.e., “an error of a 

transpositional, typographical, or mathematical nature”) or a mutual mistake of fact (i.e., 

“an erroneous belief, which is shared and relied on by both parties”).2 Rather, the facts 

alleged indicate a valuation dispute that does not involve the correction of a clerical 

error or mutual mistake of fact. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s assessment appeal is PARTIALLY DISMISSED. The 

appeal shall continue for the 2026 tax year(s) only.

2 of 3

I am disputing the assessed True Cash Value of my property with the Michigan Tax Tribunal. I purchased this property through the open market on March 19, 

2024, for $119,900. However, for the 2025 tax year, the property was assessed at a value of $172,000, which is significantly higher than the actual purchase price I 

paid.

At the time of purchase, I was not aware of the uncapping process, how property taxes would be affected, or the appeal procedures available. Despite that, the 

current assessed value does not accurately reflect the property's market value or condition.

Since purchasing the property, I have experienced multiple issues that negatively impact the property’s value and rental potential. The property has been 

vandalized several times, including incidents where it was egged, and I also had to go through an eviction process. In addition, reported crime in the neighborhood 

has increased, making it difficult to secure reliable tenants and maintain stable rental income.

I am also attaching a few recently sold comparable properties nearby for reference. However, even those properties are superior to my home in overall condition 

and features. My property does not have a basement or crawl space and is built directly on a concrete slab. It also has the original older windows, no central air 

conditioning, and lower-grade vinyl flooring. These factors further reduce the market value of my property compared to other homes in the area.

Due to these circumstances, the current assessed value places an unfair financial burden on me through excessive property taxes that are not supported by the 

actual market conditions, property condition, or my actual purchase price. I respectfully request a review and reduction of the property’s True Cash Value 

assessment.

2 of 3

I am disputing the assessed True Cash Value of my property with the Michigan Tax Tribunal. I purchased this property through the open market on March 19, 

2024, for $119,900. However, for the 2025 tax year, the property was assessed at a value of $172,000, which is significantly higher than the actual purchase price I 

paid.

At the time of purchase, I was not aware of the uncapping process, how property taxes would be affected, or the appeal procedures available. Despite that, the 

current assessed value does not accurately reflect the property's market value or condition.

Since purchasing the property, I have experienced multiple issues that negatively impact the property’s value and rental potential. The property has been 

vandalized several times, including incidents where it was egged, and I also had to go through an eviction process. In addition, reported crime in the neighborhood 

has increased, making it difficult to secure reliable tenants and maintain stable rental income.

I am also attaching a few recently sold comparable properties nearby for reference. However, even those properties are superior to my home in overall condition 

and features. My property does not have a basement or crawl space and is built directly on a concrete slab. It also has the original older windows, no central air 

conditioning, and lower-grade vinyl flooring. These factors further reduce the market value of my property compared to other homes in the area.

Due to these circumstances, the current assessed value places an unfair financial burden on me through excessive property taxes that are not supported by the 

actual market conditions, property condition, or my actual purchase price. I respectfully request a review and reduction of the property’s True Cash Value 

assessment.
