ORDER OF PROCEDURE

MBH NNN Investments LLC,

Petitioner,

v

 

 

City Of Hastings,

Respondent.

 MTT Docket No. 26-001189

Please be advised that 26-001189 has been placed on a two-week Prehearing General 

Call commencing September 16, 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covered by the order will not be published.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.

truthfulness of the allegations with respect to Petitioner’s legal residence or principal office address 

and leaves Petitioner to its proofs.

claim and therefore no response is required.

3 

 

4897-9520-8647, v. 1

the values on the roll, including the taxable value, comply with MCL 211.27a.

parcel at issue in this matter.

become known through discovery. 

 

WHEREFORE, Respondent requests that the Tribunal dismiss Petitioner’s appeal with 

prejudice and award Respondent its costs, attorney fees, and all such further and additional relief 

as this Tribunal may deem appropriate.

We respectfully request that the taxable value and assessed value be corrected to $850000 with the true cash 

value $1700000. 

The subject property is a car wash building. Review of this type building as well as an appraisal supports a much 

lower valuation. We would respectfully request the assessment be adjusted to more appropriately represent the 

value of the subject property.
