 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

 MTT Docket No. 24-003994

Wayne County,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

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

Petitioner has filed a Motion to Withdraw the Petition and Respondent has not filed an 

objection to the requested withdrawal. 

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. 24-003994

Page 2 of 7

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.

By state law, all delinquent taxes are payable to the Wayne County Treasurer’s Office. According to our records, the 2023 and/or prior year’s property 

taxes for the listed property remain unpaid. If these taxes are not paid before March 

1, 2025, this property will be FORFEITED to the Wayne 

County Treasurer for non-payment of taxes and any person holding a legal interest may lose that interest as a result of the forfeiture and subsequent 

foreclosure proceedings. 

If the property is forfeited, 

a $175 title search fee and 

a $30.00 recording fee will be added to the delinquent taxes on March 

1, 2025. In 

addition, the intérest rate will be increased from 1% to 1.5% per month, 18% per year, retroactive to March 

1, 2024, and interest will continue to 

accrue 

at the rate 

of 1.5% per month until paid. Partial payments will 

be accepted, however, 

in order 

to avoid foreclosure, 

all forfeited 

delinquent taxes, interest, penalties, and fees must be paid in full before the expiration of the redemption period. 

When paying the prior year(s) taxes, payment may be made via the following methods: 

o 

online with a debit card. credit card or bank transfer (www.treasurer. waynecounty. com);

By state law, all delinquent taxes are payable to the Wayne County Treasurer’s Office. According to our records, the 2023 and/or prior year’s property 

taxes for the listed property remain unpaid. If these taxes are not paid before March 

1, 2025, this property will be FORFEITED to the Wayne 

County Treasurer for non-payment of taxes and any person holding a legal interest may lose that interest as a result of the forfeiture and subsequent 

foreclosure proceedings. 

If the property is forfeited, 

a $175 title search fee and 

a $30.00 recording fee will be added to the delinquent taxes on March 

1, 2025. In 

addition, the intérest rate will be increased from 1% to 1.5% per month, 18% per year, retroactive to March 

1, 2024, and interest will continue to 

accrue 

at the rate 

of 1.5% per month until paid. Partial payments will 

be accepted, however, 

in order 

to avoid foreclosure, 

all forfeited 

delinquent taxes, interest, penalties, and fees must be paid in full before the expiration of the redemption period.
