ORDER REMOVING CASE FROM ABEYANCE 

 

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO AMEND TO ADD THE 2026 TAX YEAR 

 

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 Further, a motion has been filed requesting that the Tribunal permit 

Petitioner to amend the petition filed in this case to include the subject property’s true 

cash and taxable values for the subsequent 2026 tax year. More importantly, the 

motion is timely under MCL 205.737 and 205.735a and Petitioner has shown good 

cause to justify the granting of the motion. As a result, the Tribunal shall remove the 

case from abeyance, grant Petitioner’s motion, and enter the parties’ stipulation. 

Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that this case is REMOVED FROM ABEYANCE. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motion to Amend to Add 2026 Tax Year is 

GRANTED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER 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%, 

(ii) after June 30, 2016, through December

1. 

Respondent admits the allegations in Paragraph 1. 

2.

Taxable Value 

2026 

$16,425,180

Respondent contends that the values for tax year 2026 are as follows: 

Tax Year 

True Cash Value 

Assessed Value 

Taxable Value 

2026 

$16,425,180 

$8,212,590 

$7,276,160

2026 

$0 

$0

8. 

Respondent denies the allegations in Paragraph 8, including subparagraphs (a)-(d), 

for the reason that the same are untrue. In further answer, the assessed, state equalized and/or 

taxable values do not exceed permitted amounts, do not exceed the percentage of true cash value 

permitted by law, were correctly determined and are based upon correct application of proper 

principles, and the values and Respondent’s mode of assessment are non-discriminatory and 

constitutional. 

WHEREFORE, Respondent, City of Auburn Hills, requests the Tribunal deny the Motion, 

dismiss the Petition, affirm Respondent’s assessed and taxable values, subject to county and state 

equalization, and award Respondent its costs and attorney fees.

Petitioner, NDA Auburn II LLC, through its representatives, DuCharme, McMillen &

1. Petitioner filed its appeal on May 30, 2025 for the 2025 tax year. 

2. One parcel of real property was included in the original Petition filed on May 30, 2025 

and the same parcel is included in this Motion to Amend.

4. The real property parcel is classified as 301 Industrial.

8. The 2026 assessments imposed on the subject property and the taxes to be levied and

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.

JOINT MOTION TO HOLD APPEAL IN ABEYANCE 

PENDING MTT DOCKET NO. 24-002035 

 

The parties by and through their respective counsel state the following in support of the 

above captioned Motion: 

1. 

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,

ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO HOLD CASE IN ABEYANCE 

 

On October 14, 2025, the parties filed a joint motion requesting that the Tribunal hold 

this case in abeyance pending resolution of MTT Docket No. 24-002035 NDA Auburn II 

LLC v City of Auburn Hills, which is currently pending before the Tribunal. 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.
