MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

MTT Docket No.25-001612

Township Of Saginaw,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that Petitioner was placed in

default on September 1, 2026, for failing to appear at a duly-scheduled hearing. Even

though Petitioner failed to comply with the order, the Tribunal must consider Grimm v

Dep’t of Treasury1 prior to the dismissal of this case. In Grimm, the Michigan Court of

Appeals summarized factors that the Tribunal must consider before imposing the

sanction of dismissal. Those factors are:

(1) whether the violation was wilful or accidental; (2) the party's history of

refusing to comply with previous court orders; (3) the prejudice to the

opposing party; (4) whether there exists a history of deliberate delay; (5)

the degree of compliance with other parts of the court's orders; (6)

attempts to cure the defect; and (7) whether a lesser sanction would better

serve the interests of justice.2

Petitioner’s failure to appear at the hearing and failure to comply with the Order of

Default has established a history of deliberate delay. As a result, giving careful

consideration to the factors involved and considering all options in determining what

sanction is just and proper, the Tribunal finds that dismissal is appropriate, and a lesser

sanction would not be appropriate.

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED.

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

1 Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010).

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

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.

ORDER OF DEFAULT

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that Petitioner failed to

appear for the duly-noticed hearing scheduled for September 1, 2026. Thus, this case

is subject to dismissal or a default hearing. Prior to dismissal or the scheduling of a

default hearing, however, the Tribunal finds that placing the absent party in default and

ordering an explanation and documentation justifying the absence at the proceeding is

appropriate.1 Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the absent party is HELD IN DEFAULT.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defaulted party shall submit information and

documentation as directed above. The response must be filed with the Tribunal and

served on the opposing party or the opposing party’s authorized representative within

14 days of entry of this order.2

Failure to comply with this order may result in dismissal of this case or the scheduling of

a default hearing, as provided by TTR 237.

commercial delivery service is considered filed on the date the submission is given to the commercial

service for delivery to the tribunal as indicated by the receipt date on the package containing the

submission. A submission by personal service is considered filed on the date the submission is received.

A submission through the tribunal’s e-filing system by 11:59 p.m. on a business day is considered filed on

Using the sales comparison approach, I adjusted the sale prices of comparable duplexes according to

differences between them and the subject properties. There were five sales that occurred within my study. I

used the same comparable sales for each subject. There was a minor difference in value due to subject

property 12-4-19-1029-000 having a slightly larger lot size of 87x150. Subject property 12-4-19-1027-005 lot

size is 86x150.

A time adjustment of .02% per day was made to each property to account for the market condition differences

between the sale price and the appraisal date. Because the subject properties are newer construction, an

adjustment of $1,500 a year was made to each property for the difference in effective age instead of adjusting

the year built. Land improvements and land value was adjusted to properties based on value contributed. A

square foot (SF) adjustment of $25/ SF was made to all of the properties for the difference in size. The

properties that had basements were adjusted down by $2.50/SF and the property with basement finish was

adjusted down by $5/SF. Two comparable properties had a 5% adjustment for the quality of construction. The

difference in value for a full bath was $2,500 each and half baths were $1,000 each.

Once adjustments were made, adjusted sale prices ranged from $257,593-$293,629. Comparable one had the

lowest percentage of adjustments, was the closest in effective age and sold the closest to my appraisal date

which led me to believe that its adjusted sale price is the best indication of value for the subject properties.

My opinion of value for the subject properties is $290,000 each.

Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal

The 2025 assessed values do not exceed 50% of the subject properties market values

based on comparable sales. Both properties had new duplexes built on them in 2022.

According to the building permits filed by the petitioner, the estimated cost of

construction of the duplexes were $200,000 each. This does not include land value.

The petitioner submitted two properties as comparables to the March Board of Review.

The subject properties are duplexes consisting of 2,415 square feet each. The

comparable properties the petitioner used were 3 and 4 units. The 3 unit built in 2021

has 4,422 square feet, and the 4 unit built in 2022 has 6,024 square feet. Neither of

these properties have sold. They were built and are owned by the developer to be used

as rentals.

The comparable sales used to support the 2025 assessed values are duplexes similar

in size that have sold within the last few years.

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.

Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply)

Taxable Value Only (calculation)

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

After reviewing the assessed and taxable value and comparing it to similar properties in the area, I believe that the proposed assessment is significantly overvalued.

In support of my claim, I have provided comparisons of newly constructed multi-unit properties in the region, including their values per square foot. Specifically, I

have focused on properties that were built in recent years to present an accurate reflection of current market trends.

The construction difference in our unit compared to the comparable units is significant. Our unit is pole barn framed on a slab. The construction value is less than

the other comparable units which were foundation built with frame construction.

Here is what I believe should be assessed to our property. Utilizing the lowest square foot value of the comparable new multi-family properties, which comes to

$35.36 per square foot. Applying this to my duplex, which has a total of 2,415 square feet, the value would be $35.36 x 2,415 = $85,394. When considering this the

assessed and taxable value of the property would be $85,394 this would make the entire property at a market value of $170,788.00.

I respectfully request that the Board reconsider the assessed and taxable value of my property, taking into account the comparisons and analysis provided. I believe

this revised valuation more accurately reflects the current market conditions for similar new construction duplexes in Saginaw County.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
