the notice giving rise to the appeal (i.e., notice of action taken by Board of Review, 

uncapping notice, PRE denial notice, final assessment notice, etc.). See TTR 269 and

utilizing the Tribunal’s e-filing system, must be filed on the assigned docket number as 

an “amended petition.” Small Claims petition forms can be found on our website at 

www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. 

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is HELD IN DEFAULT.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defaulted party shall cure the default, as indicated 

above, within 14 days of the entry of this order.1 

Failure to comply with this order will result in the defaulted party being required to file a 

motion to set aside the default (with appropriate filing fee).

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.

Certification of Appraiser Independence 

The Lender certifies that the above referenced appraisal has been completed in

compliance with all current appraisal independence requirements as defined by the

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Interagency

Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal

Housing Administration, in strict adherence to our non-influence policy and process: 

  

Borrower Name: Sravani Nukala 

Property Address: 2952 Medinah Dr Okemos MI 48864 

Loan number: 123040963 

Date: 2023-07-31 

No employee, director, officer or agent of the lender or any other third party acting as

joint venture partner, independent contractor, appraisal company, appraisal

management company or partner on behalf of the lender has influenced or attempted to

influence the development, reporting, result, or review of the appraisal in any manner. 

The Lender/Client named on the appraisal report submitted the appraisal order through a

secure self-managed appraisal software platform, or through approved and compliant 3rd

party integration. 

Appraiser selection was performed by a non-compensated member of the Lender.

Appraiser selection was performed utilizing a selection methodology of management-

approved policies based on the location of the subject property, appraiser availability

and historical quality and performance metrics. 

The appraiser's compensation was not in any way dependent on the value arrived at or

the closing of the loan. The appraiser was compensated directly by the Lender and not

by a Lender staff member that receives compensation based on loan sales. 

The terms and conditions of the engagement contract between the Lender and the

appraiser prohibit the appraiser from inappropriate communication with the Lender

origination staff or attempting to obtain value/loan information from the borrower/

property owner. 

No estimate regarding the Subject Property's value, proposed loan amount or proposed

loan-to-value ratio was provided or communicated by the Lender to the appraiser. 

For all transactions: By proper use of a secure self-managed appraisal software platform,

the Lender's loan production staff is unaware of the identity of the appraiser until the

final appraisal report is delivered. Likewise the appraiser is provided with only the

Lender's company name and address for inclusion in the appraisal report and is never

provided with the identity or contact information of the originator of the loan. For

purchase transactions, the purchase agreement was provided to the appraiser as

required by USPAP Standards Rule 1-5(a). 

All communication between the selected appraiser and The Lender was conducted

through the Lender's Appraisal Department. The Lender is unaware of any

communication to the appraiser for this appraisal assignment made by anyone that is in

violation of the terms of current Appraiser Independence Requirements.

Certification of Appraiser Independence 

The Lender certifies that the above referenced appraisal has been completed in

compliance with all current appraisal independence requirements as defined by the

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Interagency

Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal

Housing Administration, in strict adherence to our non-influence policy and process: 

  

Borrower Name: Sravani Nukala 

Property Address: 2952 Medinah Dr Okemos MI 48864 

Loan number: 123040963 

Date: 2023-07-31 

No employee, director, officer or agent of the lender or any other third party acting as

joint venture partner, independent contractor, appraisal company, appraisal

management company or partner on behalf of the lender has influenced or attempted to

influence the development, reporting, result, or review of the appraisal in any manner. 

The Lender/Client named on the appraisal report submitted the appraisal order through a

secure self-managed appraisal software platform, or through approved and compliant 3rd

party integration. 

Appraiser selection was performed by a non-compensated member of the Lender.

Appraiser selection was performed utilizing a selection methodology of management-

approved policies based on the location of the subject property, appraiser availability

and historical quality and performance metrics. 

The appraiser's compensation was not in any way dependent on the value arrived at or

the closing of the loan. The appraiser was compensated directly by the Lender and not

by a Lender staff member that receives compensation based on loan sales. 

The terms and conditions of the engagement contract between the Lender and the

appraiser prohibit the appraiser from inappropriate communication with the Lender

origination staff or attempting to obtain value/loan information from the borrower/

property owner. 

No estimate regarding the Subject Property's value, proposed loan amount or proposed

loan-to-value ratio was provided or communicated by the Lender to the appraiser. 

For all transactions: By proper use of a secure self-managed appraisal software platform,

the Lender's loan production staff is unaware of the identity of the appraiser until the

final appraisal report is delivered. Likewise the appraiser is provided with only the

Lender's company name and address for inclusion in the appraisal report and is never

provided with the identity or contact information of the originator of the loan. For

purchase transactions, the purchase agreement was provided to the appraiser as

required by USPAP Standards Rule 1-5(a). 

All communication between the selected appraiser and The Lender was conducted

through the Lender's Appraisal Department. The Lender is unaware of any

communication to the appraiser for this appraisal assignment made by anyone that is in

violation of the terms of current Appraiser Independence Requirements.
