Unless Respondent was defaulted, this case is ready to be scheduled for a Small 

Claims hearing and will be scheduled in the normal course of scheduling. You will 

receive a Notice of Hearing from the Tribunal by e-mail if you have identified an email 

address in the petition or other documentation. The Notice of Hearing will inform you of 

the date, time, and location of your hearing (note that your hearing will likely be 

conducted by telephone). Please read the Notice of Hearing as it includes important 

information.

EVIDENCE: Parties are required to submit all evidence to the Tribunal and send a copy 

to the opposing party at least 21 days before the hearing date even if the documents 

had been submitted to the local Board of Review or the Michigan Department of 

Treasury. If the documents are not timely submitted to the Tribunal and served on the 

opposing party, the documents may be excluded. Documents may be filed with the 

Tribunal by mail or through the Tribunal’s e-filing system. Documents may be sent to the 

opposing party by mail or by e-mail, if the parties agree to service by e-mail.

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.

Dear Aaron M. Fales, Esq.: 

 

It has come to our attention that there is a pending Michigan Tax Tribunal appeal in regard to 

the above-mentioned property. We believe it is in both parties’ best interest to have an inspection 

done on the property before meeting with the Michigan Tax Tribunal. If there is additional 

information you would like us to consider in support of your contention of value, such as 

appraisals, construction costs, property sales data, market information, etc. please email it to us 

at the email address provided below. Any information sent to us does not satisfy the Tribunal 

rules for submitting evidence, and once a hearing date has been set, you will be required to 

submit evidence to the Michigan Tax Tribunal and Respondent as directed in the Notice of 

Hearing. 

 

Please contact Kimberly Hampton at 248-858-2039 or email us at appeals@oakgov.com within 

fourteen days of this letter to set up an appointment for a property review. 

 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Terry D. Schultz
