Motion to Amend to Add Subsequent Year-2026 MTT Docket No. 25-001974 NDA Auburn II LLC v City of Auburn Hills Page 2 of 3 5. The values for each parcel as established by Respondent’s 2026 Board of Review are: Tax Year Parcel(s) True Cash Value Assessed Value Taxable Value 2026 02-14-14-176-013 $16,425,180 $8,212,590 $7,276,160 6. Petitioner contends the values for tax year 2026 are no more than the following: Tax Year Parcel(s) True Cash Value Assessed Value Taxable Value 2026 02-14-14-176-013 $13,500,000 $6,750,000 $6,750,000 7. The values in contention for tax year 2026 are: Tax Year Parcel(s) True Cash Value Assessed Value Taxable Value 2026 02-14-14-176-013 $2,925,180 $1,462,590 $526,160 8. The 2026 assessments imposed on the subject property and the taxes to be levied and collected are invalid because: (a) The assessed value(s) and equalized assessment(s) imposed on the subject property are more than 50% of its true cash value in violation of the applicable statutory and constitutional limitations; (b) The assessment is based on erroneous principles and information; (c) The assessment is based on the misapplication of valuation principles, and (d) The assessment otherwise violates Petitioner’s rights.

The above captioned appeal concerns the 2025 valuation of commercial property located in Oakland County—parcel no. 02-14-14-176-013. 2. With the exception of the tax year at issue, the parties, property, and issues raised in the above captioned appeal are, based on the pleadings, in essence identical to those at issue in MTT docket no. 24-002035—an appeal concerning the 2024 tax year. 3. The above captioned 2025 appeal is ready to be placed on a Prehearing General Call and Order of Procedure.
Page 2
2 4. However, as of the filing of the above captioned Motion, the 2024 reiteration (MTT docket no. 24-002035) has not yet been resolved. The 2024 reiteration is proceeding in accordance with the June 16-30, 2026 Prehearing General Call with valuation disclosures and prehearing statements due February 17, 2026. Accordingly, the 2024 reiteration will likely not proceed to hearing until the spring of next year and a Final Opinion and Judgment will likely not be rendered until Fall 2026 at the earliest. 5. A Final Opinion and Judgment from the Tribunal regarding MTT docket no. 24- 002035 could impact this 2025 appeal and the parties’ desire to proceed with this appeal. Thus, it could potentially be a waste of time and resources for the parties and the Tribunal to proceed with the above captioned appeal when the prior 2024 appeal remains pending. 6. To proceed with this case before a resolution regarding MTT docket no. 24- 002035 has been reached would likely not constitute an efficient administration of justice. 7. Proceeding with the above captioned appeal will require the parties and the Tribunal to expend substantial resources which may ultimately be unnecessary. Placing the above captioned appeal in abeyance at this juncture before substantial time and resources have been spent—including, but not limited to, the preparation of prehearing statements and valuation disclosures—is in the interest of efficiency to all parties involved and judicial economy. 8. As evidenced above, there is good cause for granting this joint Motion to hold the above captioned appeal in abeyance pending the resolution of its 2024 iteration,

In the motion, the parties state that but for the tax year at issue, the parties, property, and issues raised in the present matter are essentially identical to those in the above- mentioned appeal. Proceeding in the present matter while MTT Docket No. 24-002035 is still pending could potentially waste the time and resources of both the parties and the Tribunal. The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that placing this case in abeyance pending resolution of MTT Docket No. 24-002035 NDA Auburn II LLC v City of Auburn Hills will facilitate the efficient administration of justice, as that resolution may have a direct bearing on the outcome of the instant appeal. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Hold Case in Abeyance is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall notify the Tribunal in writing within 28 days of the resolution of MTT Docket No. 24-002035 NDA Auburn II LLC v City of Auburn Hills as to the need for further proceedings in this matter.
