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.

GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Jashanpreet Singh, Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-000994 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. By: /s/ Patricia L. Halm Entered: August 5, 2026 PROOF OF SERVICE I certify that a copy of the foregoing was sent on the entry date indicated above to the parties or their attorneys or authorized representatives, if any, utilizing either the mailing or email addresses on file, as provided by those parties, attorneys, or authorized representatives.

STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 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. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: March If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Year(s) Under Appeal: 2025,2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 06-01-134-001 Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 92400 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 88322
