ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO AMEND 

 

ORDER SEVERING 2025 TAX YEAR AND ASSIGNING IT 

DOCKET NUMBER 25-002542 

 

On May 30, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal permit them to 

amend the petition filed in this case to include the 2025 tax year. 

 

On June 20, 2025, Respondent filed a response to the motion. In the response, 

Respondent states that valuation disclosures and prehearing statements are scheduled 

to be exchanged on July 21, 2025, not allowing “sufficient time for Respondent to 

conduct discovery or prepare a valuation disclosure relevant to the 2025 tax year.” 

Additionally, Respondent requests that the 2025 tax year be severed and assigned a 

new docket number to “prevent severe and unnecessary prejudice to Respondent.” 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion, the response, and case file and finds that 

Petitioner timely filed its Motion to Amend, included the necessary information and filing 

fee, and otherwise met all requirements, as set forth in MCL 205.737 and MCL 

205.735a. Due to the stage in which this case is at, however, and in the interest of 

judicial efficiency, the 2025 tax year shall be severed from this case and assigned to a 

new docket number. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion to Amend is GRANTED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s assessment appeal for the 2025 tax year is 

SEVERED and ASSIGNED to Docket No. 25-002542. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner shall file a petition pertaining to the 2025 tax 

year within 21 days of the entry of this order.1 The petition shall note the docket number 

 

1 See TTR 233.

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 24-001947 & 25-002542 

Page 2 of 2 

 

assigned by the Tribunal for the 2025 tax year and if filed utilizing the Tribunal’s e-filing 

system, must be filed on the assigned 2025 docket number as a “Severed Petition.”2 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Tribunal shall issue a Notice of Docket after receipt 

of the petition for the 2025 tax year. 

 

Failure to comply with this order may result in dismissal of the appeal for the 2025 tax 

year.3
