ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 

 

On November 21, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal reconsider 

the dismissal entered in this case on October 31, 2025. In the motion, Petitioner states 

that the appeal was premised on a qualified error and, therefore, the Tribunal has 

authority to grant the relief requested. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Petitioner is 

merely restating the arguments stated in the petition. Further, the issues raised in the 

motion were considered by the Tribunal in rendering the dismissal of this case. Even 

though Petitioner’s protest to the July Board of Review (BOR) was couched in terms of 

being a “qualified error,” the July BOR determined it did not have authority as the issues 

were actually valuation claims; in other words, not a clerical error or mutual mistake of 

fact. Thus, because Petitioner’s issues were outside the confines of a “qualified error,” 

as defined in MCL 211.53b, Petitioner’s issues were required to be protested to the 

March BOR prior to filing the appeal with the Tribunal. Since it was not, the Tribunal 

has no authority over this appeal and the dismissal was proper. 

 

Given the above, Petitioner failed to demonstrate a palpable error relative to the 

dismissal that misled the Tribunal and the parties and that would have resulted in a 

different disposition if the error was corrected.1 Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED. 

 

This order resolves all pending claims in this matter and closes this case. 

 

APPEAL RIGHTS 

 

If you disagree with the final decision in this case, 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 the claim is filed more than 21 days after the entry 

 

1 See MCR 2.119(F)(3). A palpable error is one that is “easily perceptible, plain, obvious, readily visible, 

noticeable, patent, distinct, or manifest.” Luckow v Luckow, 291 Mich App 417, 426 (2011) (quotation 

marks and citation omitted).

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 25-003690 

Page 2 of 2 

 

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.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it has no authority over 

Petitioner’s appeal. Petitioner is appealing the valuation of Parcel Nos. WD0-134-3200-

60 and WD0-134-3200-70, and the petition indicates that the parcels are classified as 

residential. Petitioner protested the assessment to the July 2025 Board of Review 

(BOR) rather than the March BOR as required by statute.1 However, a protest to the 

March BOR is a prerequisite to invoking the Tribunal’s jurisdiction over such properties 

and issues under MCL 205.735a. An appeal of a March BOR decision must be filed 

with the Tribunal by July 31 of the pertinent tax year.2 In this case, the appeal was filed 

on August 25, 2025. 

 

Petitioner also contends that Respondent failed to consider the effect of the easement 

upon the subject properties’ value. The petition claims that there was a purported 

clerical error or mutual mistake of fact. However, the pleadings reference neither a 

clerical error (i.e., “an error of a transpositional, typographical, or mathematical nature”) 

or a mutual mistake of fact (i.e., “an erroneous belief, which is shared and relied on by 

both parties”), and therefore do not meet the definition of “qualified error” under MCL 

211.53b(6).3 

 

As such, and because the Tribunal has no equitable power to waive or otherwise 

disregard statutory filing requirements or deadlines,4 it has no authority to grant 

Petitioner the relief requested.5 Therefore, 

 

1 See MCL 211.30 and MCL 205.735a(3), (6). 

2 See MCL 205.735a(6). 

3 See International Place Apartments – IV v Ypsilanti Township, 216 Mich App 104, 109 (1996), Ford 

Motor Company v City of Woodhaven, 475 Mich 425, 442 (2006). 

4 The Tribunal’s powers are limited to those authorized by statute and do not include powers of equity. 

See Federal-Mogul Corp v Dep’t of Treasury, 161 Mich App 346 (1987), Elec Data Sys Corp v Flint Twp, 

253 Mich App 538 (2002), and VanderWerp v Plainfield Twp, 278 Mich App 624 (2008). 

5 The Tribunal also has no authority over Petitioner’s appeal under MCL 211.53a, as the facts alleged do 

not establish a prima facie case indicating that the assessment was the result of a clerical error (i.e., “an 

error of a transpositional, typographical, or mathematical nature”) or a mutual mistake of fact (i.e., “an 

erroneous belief, which is shared and relied on by both parties”). See International Place Apartments – 

IV v Ypsilanti Township, 216 Mich App 104 (1996), Ford Motor Company v City of Woodhaven, 475 Mich

Page 2 of 2 

 

IT IS ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED. 

 

This order resolves all pending claims in this matter and closes this 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 

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.

Petitioner appeals the Decision of the July Board of Review on the premise that 

the Assessor made an error and/or omission in creating the taxable and fair market 

value 

of the 

property. 

Petitioner, 

at 

the Board 

of Review, 

presented 

the 

information that the two parcels of property for which this appeal is sought are 

land locked properties adjoining other parcels owned by the Petitioner. 

There 

exists no easement and the value of the property needs to reflect the fact that 

parcels are not to be developed without the extension of an appropriate easement 

for 

ingress

attached 

to

Seller's

Acknowledgement from the acquisition of the property dated June

in question have no easement for ingress and/or

in the valuation of the property causes an unjust assessment for the real property.

ORDER CORRECTING DOCKET

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that this appeal was filed in 

the name of John McLaughlin. The documentation filed with the petition indicates, 

however, that the record owner of the property and proper petitioner in this matter is 

McLaughlin Family Trust. The docket should therefore be corrected to reflect the same, 

with the originally listed Petitioner as the authorized representative. The noted error is 

properly corrected under the misnomer doctrine.1 Therefore, 

IT IS ORDERED that the docket shall be CORRECTED as identified above.
