Township Of Pittsfield,

Respondent.

MTT Docket No. 26-000753

Please be advised that 26-000753 has been placed on a two-week Prehearing General

Call commencing May 17, 2027. Unless ordered otherwise, parties will be notified at

least 28 days before they are scheduled to appear. Scheduling will not necessarily

occur in the order in which the cases are listed below.

Parties are required to submit a valuation disclosure or written notification that no

valuation disclosure is required by the dates indicated herein. A “valuation disclosure”

is defined as documentary or other tangible evidence in a property tax proceeding that a

party relies upon in support of the party’s contention as to the true cash value of the

subject property or any portion thereof and contains the party’s value conclusion and

data, valuation methodology, analysis or reasoning. See TTR 203 and TTR 241.

Users who file documents with the Tribunal are advised that filed documents are

public records and will appear for public viewing on the Tribunal’s Tax Docket

Lookup. If a user wishes to file a document for consideration by the Tribunal and

prevent its publication on the Tax Docket Lookup, the user MUST file a Motion for

Protective Order under MCR 2.302(C)(8). If a Protective Order is issued, documents

covered by the order will not be published. Documents filed prior to the issuance of a

Protective Order will be published.

In accordance with MCR 1.109(D)(9) and TTR 209, the responsibility for excluding or

redacting personal identifying information (PII) from all documents filed with or offered to

the Tribunal rests solely with the parties and their attorneys. The Tribunal is not

responsible for or required to review, redact, or screen documents at the time of filing

for PII whether filed electronically or on paper. A party, representative, or interested

person (i.e. third party not part of an appeal) may request that the Tribunal redact PII

contained in a previously filed document by submitting a Request for Redactions. The

Request for Redactions form is available on the Entire Tribunal and Small Claims pages

of the Tribunal’s website.

Please refer to the Tribunal’s FAQs and Glossary of Terms pages on the Tribunal’s

website for more information.

Statements by January 19, 2027. Witnesses, with the exception of rebuttal witnesses,

holding a party or parties in default. See TTR 237.

Petition 

Legends at the Grove LLC (“Petitioner”), through its attorneys, Honigman LLP, says: 

1.

Petitioner's principal office address is 6400 Telegraph Rd., Suite 2500, Bloomfield 

Hills, MI 48301-1728. 

2.

Petitioner is a party in interest with respect to property taxes on the property 

identified by tax parcel number L-12-14-300-019 ("Petitioner's Property"). Petitioner’s Property 

is known as Legends Grove. Respondent’s records identify Petitioner’s Property as being on 

Freedom Drive. Petitioner’s Property is located in Pittsfield Twp., Washtenaw County, Michigan.

Page 2

Respondent, Pittsfield Twp., assesses and collects property taxes on Petitioner's

Property.

In 2026, Respondent determined the taxable value of Petitioner's Property to be

$23,984,566 and assessed Petitioner's Property at $23,984,566, which will result in a state

equalized value in the same amount based upon the tentative equalization factor.

Petitioner's Property is classified as commercial improved. Petitioner's Property is

presently used or available for use for commercial purposes. Petitioner believes that Petitioner's

Property was originally designed to be used for commercial purposes.

To the best knowledge of the undersigned, the multifamily units comprising

Petitioner’s Property are not subject to a governmental regulatory agreement or a subsidy.

This matter involves issues relating to: (a) valuation, (b) assessment, (c) taxable

value, (d) due process, (e) uniformity, and (f) equal protection.

No board of review protest was required for Petitioner’s Property.

The 2026 assessment, including state equalized value and taxable value, imposed

on Petitioner's Property, and the taxes to be levied and collected thereon, are invalid and unlawful

for the reasons that:

(a)

The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value,

exceeds the amount permitted by the Michigan Constitution and applicable

statutes;

(b)

The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, is at

a higher percentage of true cash value than permissible under the Michigan

Constitution and applicable statutes;

Page 3

3 

(c) 

The assessment, including taxable value and/or state equalized value, is 

based upon an erroneous determination of the true cash value of that portion 

of Petitioner's Property that is taxable under Michigan law, and is based 

upon the application of wrong principles; and 

(d) 

The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, and 

the mode of assessment adopted by Respondent, discriminate against 

Petitioner and deny Petitioner its constitutional rights to uniformity, equal 

protection, and due process of law. 

WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Tax Tribunal enter an Order: (i) reducing the 

2026 assessed value, state equalized value, and taxable value from $23,984,566 to $16,750,000; 

(ii) requiring payment to Petitioner of the refunds attributable to such reductions, plus interest and 

costs; and (iii) awarding Petitioner any other relief to which it is entitled. 

Dated: May 6, 2026
