GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Patrick Ford, Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-000840 Township Of Saline, Respondent. NOTICE OF FILING TAKE NOTICE that a Small Claims answer has been filed and the electronic copy of the answer can be reviewed by utilizing the Docket Lookup on the Tribunal’s website. 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.

GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Patrick Ford, Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-000840 Township Of Saline, Respondent. 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 2026 tax year(s) only. By: /s/ Patricia L.

STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING & REGULATORY AFFAIRS MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION 2 of 3 PART 1: RETROACTIVE REFUND REQUEST (2023–2025) – MEASUREMENT ERROR I am requesting a retroactive correction of my Taxable Value for 2023, 2024, and 2025. This request is based on a mutual mistake of fact regarding the physical size of my home (MCL 211.53a). Until the current 2026 cycle, the county records claimed my home was 4,098 square feet. As proven by the architectural plans I’ve provided—and as accepted by the 2026 Board of Review—the actual size is 3,470 square feet. This 628-foot error was especially impactful in 2023 when I finished my basement. The county charged me for finishing 1,300 square feet, even though the entire basement footprint is only 850 square feet. It was physically impossible for that 1,300-square- foot improvement to exist. Because the math was based on space that wasn’t there, I am seeking a refund for the overpayments. Based on the corrected measurements, the Taxable Value (TV) targets are: 2023: Corrected TV of $256,704 (Refund: $1,832.31) 2024: Corrected TV of $269,539 (Refund: $1,923.92) 2025: Corrected TV of $277,895 (Refund: $1,983.55) Total Refund Requested: $5,739.78 PART 2: APPEAL OF 2026 ASSESSMENT – MARKET REALITY VS. COST I am also appealing the 2026 assessment because it is built on a flawed 2025 baseline and a mathematically impossible valuation of my new swimming pool. After accounting for the 2.7% inflation cap, the county has assigned $53,154 in Taxable Value specifically to the pool. Since Taxable Value is 50% of market value, the county is claiming my pool added $106,308 in True Cash Value to my home. This is unsupportable. The actual construction cost was only $69,179. The county’s math implies the pool somehow "appreciated" by over $37,000 the day it was finished. Furthermore, local neighborhood sales data shows that swimming pools in this area often act as a maintenance liability rather than a value-add. Comparable homes in Saline with pools frequently sell for less per square foot than those without. While a professional appraiser estimated the absolute maximum value increase at $20,000, the reality of neighborhood comps suggests a much more
