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

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

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 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.

Did you request a poverty exemption at the BOR? 

 Yes 

 No 

 

If Yes, check which BOR considered your application AND attach the BOR decision: 

 March 

 July 

 December 

 

If No, explain why: 



The assessed value exceeds the property's true market value. The property was 

purchased in August 2024 for $210,000 in an arm's-length transaction. The home is in 

below-average condition and requires significant repairs, including roof replacement, 

foundation issues, plumbing repairs, outdated kitchen and bathrooms, basement wall 

cracks, lack of central air conditioning, and an aging furnace.

 

Based on the recent purchase price, comparable sales, and estimated repair costs, the 

property's fair market value is approximately $200,000 to $210,000. The current 

assessed value implies a market value of approximately $259,020, which exceeds the 

property's actual market value. I respectfully request that the Tribunal reduce the 

property's true cash value, assessed value, and taxable value accordingly.
