ORDER GRANTING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT 

 

CONSENT JUDGMENT 

 

The Tribunal has reviewed the Stipulation and finds that it comports with the mandates 

of State law.1 As a result, the Tribunal shall enter the parties’ 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, 2013, through June 30, 2016, at the rate of 4.25%, 

(ii) after June 30, 2016,

ORDER DENYING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT 

 

The Tribunal has reviewed the case file and the stipulation, filed on January 30, 2026, 

and finds that the parties have stipulated to a 2025 taxable value that is not in 

compliance with MCL 211.27a(2)(a) and the parties failed to provide any justification for 

the proposed value. Specifically, MCL 211.27a(2)(a) requires a property’s taxable value 

to be calculated by taking “[t]he property's taxable value in the immediately preceding 

year minus any losses, multiplied by the lesser of 1.05 or the inflation rate, plus all 

additions.” In this case, the result is $328,497, not $328,490. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that the Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment is DENIED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that because this Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment is no longer pending before the Tribunal, a new stipulation is required for any 

future settlement. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that unless a new stipulation is filed as provided herein, a 

hearing shall be scheduled in the normal course.

PURPOSE OF THE VALUATION DISCLOSURE: 

The purpose of the valuation disclosure is to estimate the true cash value of the subject 

property. True cash value is defined as "the usual selling price at the place where the 

property to which the term is applied shall be at the time of assessment, being the price, 

which could be obtained therefore, at private sale." Market value is held to be synonymous 

with true cash value. Market value can be defined as "the highest price in terms of money 

which a property will bring if exposed for sale in the open market, allowing a reasonable 

time to find a purchaser who buys with knowledge of all the uses to which the property is 

adapted and for which it is capable of being used."

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 

 

On December 10, 2024, Petitioner filed a motion requesting the Tribunal set aside the 

default entered in this case on October 30, 2024. 

 

Respondent has not filed a response to the motion. However, Respondent filed an 

answer to the petition on December 27, 2024. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Petitioner was 

held in default because they did not file a severed petition. They did not respond, and 

the Tribunal entered an order extending the time to cure on November 26, 2024. 

Having now filed the petition, motion, and proof of service, Petitioner has complied with 

the Tribunal’s orders as required by TTR 231. As such, the Tribunal finds good cause 

to grant the motion and set aside the default. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion to Set Aside Default is GRANTED. 

 

 

Entered: January 10, 2025

 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

MTT Docket No. 24-003558 

Township Of White Lake,

Respondent.

ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT 

The Tribunal has considered the file in the above-captioned case and finds that it 

entered an order holding Petitioner in default on October 30, 2024.1 Petitioner was 

required to cure the default within 14 days. Petitioner has had ample time to comply, yet 

has failed to respond or submit the required filings. Though the Tribunal finds an 

extension of time to cure the default appropriate, Petitioner’s failure to comply with 

Tribunal orders and its Rules of Practice and Procedure has established a history of 

deliberate delay that would justify dismissal of the case for failure to timely comply with 

this Order.2 Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the time for Petitioner to cure the default is EXTENDED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must complete the following to cure the 

default: (1) file the documentation required by the October 30, 2024default order, (2) file 

a Motion to Set Aside Default, and (3) file proof the Motion and a copy of the 

documentation were served on Respondent. The foregoing must be filed with the 

Tribunal within 14 days of the entry of this Order.

Failure to comply with this Order may result in dismissal of the case, as provided by 

TTR 231.3

ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER IN DEFAULT 

 

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in this case and finds that the Tribunal severed the 

above-captioned docket from docket number 23-002837 on September 27, 2024. The 

order severing this case required Petitioner to file a petition pertaining to the 2024 tax 

year within 21 days of entry of the order. Petitioner failed to respond or submit a 

petition. Though the Tribunal finds an extension of time to file the petition is appropriate 

under TTR 231(1), Petitioner shall be placed in default. Additionally, Petitioner’s failure 

to comply with Tribunal orders and its Rules of Practice and Procedure has established 

a history of deliberate delay that would justify the dismissal of this case for failure to 

timely comply with this order.1 Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is held in DEFAULT. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must file a petition pertaining to the 2024 tax 

year within 21 days of entry of this Order. The petition shall note the docket number 

assigned by the Tribunal for the 2024 tax year and if filed utilizing the Tribunal’s e-filing 

system, must be filed on the assigned 2024 docket number as a “Severed Petition.” 

 

Failure to comply with this Order will result in the dismissal of this case.2

PROCEDURAL HISTORY

Review (BOR). Petitioner protested the subject property’s assessment to the 2023

Page 2 of 11 

 

The amount of the SEV or TV in dispute, as set forth in the pleadings, for all tax years at 

issue is within the jurisdictional limits of the Small Claims Division.1 Further, the 

property’s assessment for subsequent tax years is included in this proceeding.2 

 

ISSUES AND APPLICABLE LAW 

 

The issues in this matter are: 

 

1. Whether the subject property is assessed in excess of 50% of its TCV. 

 

“The petitioner has the burden of proof in establishing the true cash value of the 

property.”3 

 

The assessment of real property in Michigan shall not exceed 50% of its TCV.4 “True 

cash value” means “the usual selling price . . . .”5 “True cash value” means “fair market 

value.”6 

 

The Tribunal is required to make an independent determination of TCV.7 “[T]he tribunal
