ORDER GRANTING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT 

 

CONSENT JUDGMENT 

 

The Tribunal has reviewed the Stipulation and finds that it comports with the mandates 

of State law.1 As a result, the Tribunal shall enter the parties’ Stipulation. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that the Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment including all 

attachments, terms and conditions is GRANTED and ADOPTED, unless otherwise 

indicated. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the officer charged with maintaining the assessment 

rolls for the tax years at issue shall correct or cause the assessment rolls to be 

corrected to reflect the property’s true cash and taxable values as provided in this 

Consent Judgment within 20 days of the entry of the Consent Judgment.2 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the officer charged with collecting or refunding the 

affected taxes shall collect taxes and any applicable interest or issue a refund as 

required by the Consent Judgment within 28 days of the entry of the Consent 

Judgment. If a refund is warranted, it shall, unless otherwise indicated, include a 

proportionate share of any property tax administration fees paid and of penalty and 

interest paid on delinquent taxes. The refund shall also, unless otherwise indicated, 

separately indicate the amount of the taxes, fees, penalties, and interest being 

refunded. A sum determined by the Tribunal to have been unlawfully paid shall, unless 

otherwise indicated, bear interest from the date of payment to the date of judgment and 

the judgment shall bear interest to the date of its payment. A sum determined by the 

Tribunal to have been underpaid shall not bear interest for any time period prior to 28 

days after the issuance of this Consent Judgment. Pursuant to MCL 205.737, interest 

shall accrue (i) after December 31, 2013, through June 30, 2016, at the rate of 4.25%,

ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL

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

is appealing assessments for prior tax years and the Tribunal has no authority over 

those assessments under MCL 205.735a, as the petition was not timely filed.1 Further, 

the Tribunal also has no authority over those assessments, as the facts alleged do not 

establish that the assessments were 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”).2 Rather, the facts 

alleged indicate a valuation dispute that does not involve the correction of a clerical 

error or mutual mistake of fact. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s assessment appeal is PARTIALLY DISMISSED. The 

appeal shall continue for the 2025 tax year(s) only.

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.

Subject: Letter of Explanation Regarding Property Appraisal: 317 South St. Ypsilanti, MI 

Parcel Number: 1111-11-09-192-008 

MTT Docket No. 25-002312 

 

To Whom it May Concern, 

I am writing to provide clarification regarding the attached appraisal for 317 South St. 

Ypsilanti, MI 48198 (a single parcel), which has been backdated to reflect a value as of 

December 31, 2024. I am currently contesting the property taxes (the assessed, and 

therefore the taxable value) for both 2024 and 2025, having purchased the property in 

September 2023. 

The appraisal value of $100,000 closely aligns with the true cash value of $90,000 at 

the time of purchase. It is important to note that this appraisal does not fully account for 

several improvements I have made since acquiring the property but prior to the appraisal. 

Upon purchase, the yard was significantly overgrown with brush and trees, and I have since 

invested considerable effort in clearing and maintaining the space, which has greatly 

enhanced the property's condition and insurability. 

Additionally, I have painted one side of the house to secure and maintain an 

insurance policy, with exterior painting continuing throughout this year. I also addressed a 

significant roof leak that had damaged the plaster ceiling and parts of the stairwell walls 

leading to the basement. These repairs, including replastering much of the stairwell, were 

finally completed in April 2024 and have substantially improved the home's condition. 

Furthermore, I repainted one bathroom prior to the appraisal. 

Given the proximity of the appraisal value to the original purchase price, despite 

these significant improvements, I believe the appraisal supports the claim that the true cash 

value of the property in 2023 was approximately $90,000. Therefore, I respectfully request 

that the assessed and taxable value reflect these facts rather than relying solely on average 

sales data from the broader area at the time of reassessment. 

I believe it is important to consider the condition of the property when determining 

its value, as condition and value are closely linked. A property's worth is influenced by more 

than just square footage and the number of bathrooms—it reflects the overall state and 

improvements made. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your consideration and am 

happy to provide any additional information if needed.

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

True Cash and Taxable Value

 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

I purchased 317 South St. in September 2023 for $90,000. The seller did not have a mortgage or any leins on the house - it was not a distressed sale. The true cash 

value of the house was determined to be $90,000 because of the poor overall condition of the house and how its condition is directly related to its true cash value. 

Our real estate broker did not feel it would be easy to obtain a mortgage due to its condition, he suggested a cash purchase instead. 

When i submitted photos detailing the condition of the house to the 2025 March Board of Review as a way of justifying its true cash value, they denied my petition 

due to a lack of evidence.

Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues

Year(s) you are appealing:

2024, 2025

Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)? Yes

If Yes, check which BOR you attended AND upload the BOR decision: March

If No, check the applicable reason(s):

Did you request a Poverty Exemption at the BOR? 

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

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

True Cash and Taxable Value

 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

I purchased 317 South St. in September 2023 for $90,000. The seller did not have a mortgage or any leins on the house - it was not a distressed sale. The true cash 

value of the house was determined to be $90,000 because of the poor overall condition of the house and how its condition is directly related to its true cash value. 

Our real estate broker did not feel it would be easy to obtain a mortgage due to its condition, he suggested a cash purchase instead. 

When i submitted photos detailing the condition of the house to the 2025 March Board of Review as a way of justifying its true cash value, they denied my petition 

due to a lack of evidence.
