Nadine Zebib, 

Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

 MTT Docket No. 26-000548

City of Detroit,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

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

The Notice of Property Tax Delinquency/Forfeiture submitted by Petitioner is not a final 

decision. See MCL 211.7cc(8) and (13) and MCL 205.21(2)(f) and (g). As such, 

Petitioner’s appeal is premature and the Tribunal has no authority to hear the appeal or 

grant the relief requested. See MCL 205.731 and Sixarp, LLC v Byron Twp, __Mich__; 

__NW3d__ (2025). If a final decision (i.e., Decision and Order of Determination or 

Denial of Request for Informal Conference) was issued and inadvertently omitted, 

Petitioner may file a Motion for Reconsideration including a copy of the final decision 

per the appeal rights below. 

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.

Principal Residence Exemption

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

I am formally contesting this delinquency and forfeiture notice due to both administrative error and lack of proper notice.

First, I did not receive these notices in a timely or reliable manner due to repeated mailing errors by the City. The notices have consistently been delivered to incorrect 

units within my building, including but not limited to Unit 302, despite multiple attempts by myself to correct this issue with the City. While this issue appears to be 

specific to my parcel number, my mail has been repeatedly delivered to various other units within the building.

The only reason I am able to submit a copy of this notice (as is requested in this petition) is because this particular notice was delivered to Unit 001 in error, where a 

personal contact of mine resides and was able to share it with me. This notice was not delivered to my unit. It is not the responsibility of other tenants to ensure I 

receive official correspondence; it is the City’s responsibility to maintain accurate address records and ensure proper delivery.

As a result of these repeated errors, I was not properly notified of any alleged delinquency, which has directly impacted my ability to respond or resolve this matter.

Second, the timeline referenced in this notice is factually incorrect. The notice asserts that I vacated or changed residency status in 2022, which is not accurate. I did 

not move out of this residence until February 2024. Therefore, any tax reassessment or homestead-related adjustments applied to 2022 and 2023 are erroneous and 

should be removed.

Because the notice was both improperly delivered and based on incorrect residency information, I was denied a fair opportunity to address or appeal these charges 

earlier. I am requesting a full review and correction of the tax records to reflect my actual residency timeline, as well as appropriate relief from penalties and any 

improperly assessed amounts.

I am prepared to provide documentation verifying my residency and timeline as needed. Thank you.

By state law, all delinquent taxes are payable to the Wayne County Treasurer's Office. According to our records, the 2024 and/or prior pro 

taxes for the listed property remain unpaid. If these taxes are not paid before March 1, 2026 this property will be FORFEITED to the Wayne 

County Treasurer for non-payment of taxes on March 1, 2026, and any person holding a legal interest may lose that interest as a result of the 

forfeiture and subsequent foreclosure proceedings. 

If the property 

i forfeited, a $175 title search fee and a $60.00 recording fee will be added to the taxes owed on March 1, 2026. In addition, 

the interest rate will be increased from 1% to 1.5% per month, or 18% per year, retroactive to March 1, 2025, and interest 

will continue to accrue 

at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid. Unless the listed taxes are fully paid on or before the March 31 immediately succeeding the entry in an

foreclosing the property under section 78k, redemption rights will expire and YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PROPERTY on March 31,
