Michael Guthrie, 

Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

 MTT Docket No. 26-000206

City Of Northville,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

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

Petitioner failed to protest the assessment to Respondent’s March Board of Review, as 

required by MCL 205.735a. As such, and inasmuch as the Tribunal has no equitable 

power to waive or otherwise disregard statutory filing requirements and deadlines, it has 

no authority to hear the appeal or grant the relief requested. See Sixarp, LLC v Byron 

Twp, __Mich__; __NW3d__ (2025). 

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 

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.

Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply)

Taxable Value Only (calculation)

 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

I am appealing the 2026 assessed value assigned to my property at 429 Hill Street (Parcel ID 48-42-34-406-018) because the current assessed value is significantly 

higher than market evidence supports for homes of similar size, condition, and location in the 48167 zip code. My home has 3,379 square feet of finished living 

area, yet the assessor’s implied market value of approximately $1,650,400 (based on the 2026 assessed value of $825,200 × 2), with a value of $488/sf. This exceeds 

market indicators for comparable homes of similar size north of 8 Mile between Beck Road and Meadowbrook Road.

Comparable Sales Evidence:

Recent sales in 48167 demonstrate a wide range of prices that, when adjusted for size, location, and condition, suggest that the assessor’s valuation may overstate 

fair market value:

• 49825 9 Mile Rd, Northville MI 48167 sold in mid-2025 for $1,650,000 with ~4,572 sq ft (~$361 per sq ft). This home is larger and newer than mine, and a value 

of ~$361/sq ft should not be extrapolated to my home without adjustments for age, lot, finishes, and condition.

• 900 Andover Dr (~3,494 sq ft) sold in mid-2025 for $779,900 (~$223 per sq ft).

• 39502 Danielle Dr (~3,026 sq ft) sold for $676,000 (~$223/sq ft).

• 21929 Heatheridge Ln (~3,046 sq ft) sold for $621,000 (~$204/sq ft).

• 655 Randolph St Unit 103 (~3,619 sq ft) sold for $1,180,000 (~$326/sq ft).

Based on these recent 2025 sales, homes close in size to mine generally show price per square foot outcomes lower than the assessor’s implied value, even for 

premium homes, especially after accounting for location differences and site characteristics.

Market Trends & Neighborhood Context:

In the 48167 area, the median sales price for homes in the past year has been approximately $540,000, with a typical average home size of about 2,389 sq ft, 

reflecting the broader market baseline.

Conclusion:

Given the inconsistency between the current assessed value and actual market evidence from comparable sales, I respectfully request that the assessor reconsider the 

valuation, adjust the assessed value downward to reflect a more accurate market value based on these comparables, and verify that square footage and property 

characteristics used for assessment are correct.
