Jerome P Wiater, 

Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

 MTT Docket No. 25-002416

Village of Bingham Farms,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

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

Petitioner did not protest the special assessment at the hearing held for the purpose of 

confirming the special assessment roll, however, as required by MCL 205.735a. 

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.

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

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 25-002416

Page 2 of 9

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.

SECTION 4: EXPLAIN THE REASON FORE THIS APPEAL 

Our Village of Bingham Farms has passed a special assessment for road reconstruction to which 

| 

agree. 

My wife and 

| have owned three adjacent parcels of land on Bingham Road since 1972. Our home is 

on the center parcel. 

This home and property is integral to the history of early Oakland County. We intend to maintain 

this house and land in its pastoral setting. 

A public hearing was held on March 24, 2025. 

| was not able to attend because 

| had cataract surgery that day. 

| spoke to Mr. Ken Marten (Village Manager) the next day. 

He told me that the assessment applied 

only to the address of the home and not the separate parcels and we would receive one 

assessment. 

All three parcels fall under the same address so 

| saw no reason to oppose or appeal 

that assessment at the April 28 Public Hearing. 

| subsequently found out that that the information from Mr. Marten was incorrect. 

He has acknowledged his error and stated that the village has no objection to the Michigan Tax 

Tribunal to hear my claims. 

All three parcels have been assessed separately. 

I was told that only two property owners owned more than one parcel in this entire village. One 

other property owner has two parcels and 

| have three. Another property owner in this village has 

greater acreage than ours. 

| vociferously object to this method of assessment and believe it is unfair. 

| wish to appeal this assessement.
