MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v

MTT Docket No.24-003354

Township Of Stockbridge,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

The Tribunal has considered the file in the above-captioned case and finds that 

Petitioner was placed in default on July 7, 2025, for failing to appear at a duly-scheduled 

hearing. Even though Petitioner failed to comply with the order, the Tribunal must 

consider Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury1 prior to the dismissal of this case. In Grimm, the 

Michigan Court of Appeals summarized factors that the Tribunal must consider before 

imposing the sanction of dismissal. Those factors are:

(1) whether the violation was wilful or accidental; (2) the party's history of 

refusing to comply with previous court orders; (3) the prejudice to the 

opposing party; (4) whether there exists a history of deliberate delay; (5) 

the degree of compliance with other parts of the court's orders; (6) 

attempts to cure the defect; and (7) whether a lesser sanction would better 

serve the interests of justice.2 

Petitioner’s failure to appear at the hearing and failure to comply with the Order of 

Default has established a history of deliberate delay. As a result, giving careful 

consideration to the factors involved and considering all options in determining what 

sanction is just and proper, the Tribunal finds that dismissal is appropriate, and a lesser 

sanction would not be appropriate. 

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED. 

This order resolves all pending claims in this matter and closes this case.

APPEAL RIGHTS

If you disagree with the final decision in this case, you may file a motion for 

reconsideration with the Tribunal or a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of 

Appeals. 

A motion for reconsideration must be filed with the Tribunal with the required filing fee 

within 21 days from the date of entry of the final decision. Because the final decision 

closes the case, the motion cannot be filed through the Tribunal’s web-based e-filing 

system; it must be filed by mail or personal service. The fee for the filing of such 

motions is $50.00 in the Entire Tribunal and $25.00 in the Small Claims Division, unless 

the Small Claims decision relates to the valuation of property and the property had a 

principal residence exemption of at least 50% at the time the petition was filed or the 

decision relates to the grant or denial of a poverty or disabled veterans exemption and, 

if so, there is no filing fee. You are required to serve a copy of the motion on the 

opposing party by mail or personal service or by email if the opposing party agrees to 

electronic service, and proof demonstrating that service must be submitted with the 

motion. Responses to motions for reconsideration are prohibited and there are no oral 

arguments unless otherwise ordered by the Tribunal.

Alternatively, you may file a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals. If the 

claim is filed within 21 days of the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal of right.” If 

the claim is filed more than 21 days after the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal 

by leave.” A copy of the claim of appeal must be filed with the Tribunal to certify the 

record on appeal. There is no certification fee.

ORDER OF DEFAULT

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in this case and finds that Petitioner failed to appear 

for the duly-noticed hearing scheduled for June 30, 2025. Thus, this case is subject to 

dismissal or a default hearing.1 Prior to dismissal or the scheduling of a default hearing, 

however, the Tribunal finds that placing the absent party in default and ordering an 

explanation and documentation justifying the absence at the proceeding is appropriate.2 

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the absent party is HELD IN DEFAULT.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defaulted party shall submit information and 

documentation as directed above. The response must be filed with the Tribunal and 

served on the opposing party or the opposing party’s authorized representative within 

14 days of entry of this order.3 

Failure to comply with this order may result in dismissal of this case or the scheduling of 

a default hearing, as provided by TTR 237.

MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL 

Stockbridge Entities LLC v Stockbridge Twp Docket # 24-003354 

Parcel # 33-42-16-27-233-024 — Enclosed is a deed for the sale of this property 8/12/24 for $216,000 

Parcel #33-42-16-27-233-023 — Enclosed is a list of properties similar to the subject that have sold dates 

from 2021 thru 2024. The average sale price of old downtown retail stores in the sample was $52/SF. 

The average of the sales in Stockbridge Township only was $53. 

The subject property is assessed at a true cash value of $300,000. This would indicate a $18/SF. At 

$18/SF it is clear, as the former assessor indicated, extra depreciation was added to the subject property 

for the condition of the buildings. 

Based on the above information, 

| believe the assessments on the 2024 roll represent % of fair market 

value. 

Sincerely, 

Renata Cunningham

HEARING INFORMATION – PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY

GENERAL INFORMATION: An impartial hearing will be conducted in accordance with the Michigan Tax 

Tribunal Rules (R 792.10201-R 792.10297) and the Michigan Administrative Procedures Act, MCL 24.201 et 

seq. The Michigan Rules of Evidence and the Michigan Court Rules may be applicable. A party is expected to 

exercise proper respect and courtesy toward other parties, witnesses and administrative law judges, which 

includes attending the hearing on time, silencing cell phones, and dressing in appropriate clothing for in-person 

hearings. The hearing may be recorded for notetaking purposes, but the recording is not a formal record, 

unless otherwise provided for by the Tribunal.

REPRESENTATION: You may have an attorney or anyone else of your choice represent you at the hearing. 

The Tribunal does not recommend or appoint representatives for you and will not pay for your representative.

WITNESSES: You may have anyone join you at the hearing to speak in support of your case. However, the 

time to present your case is limited and additional time may not be provided to accommodate witness 

testimony.

DOCUMENTATION: Parties are required to submit all documents in support of their contentions to the Tribunal 

and the opposing party at least 21 days before the hearing date even if the documents were previously 

submitted to the local Board of Review or the Michigan Department of Treasury. If the documents are not 

timely submitted to the Tribunal and the opposing party, the documents may be excluded. Documents may be 

submitted 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 submission by e-mail. If sent by mail, the documents must be sent to 

the opposing party or their authorized representative at the address identified in the petition or answer for that 

party or authorized representative, unless the party or authorized representative filed an appearance or other 

documentation identifying a different mailing address. The documents do not need to be resubmitted after 

the Notice of Hearing if they were previously submitted to the Tribunal and the opposing party.

If a hearing had previously been scheduled in this case and adjourned, and the adjournment order indicates 

that the parties are precluded from submitting any further documentary evidence, no further documentary 

evidence will be accepted even if filed and exchanged, as indicated above.

Inclusion of Subsequent Tax Years: Subsequent tax year assessments are automatically included in a 

valuation appeal once the assessment has been established for that tax year unless the Tribunal grants the 

exclusion of the subsequent tax year. For purposes of administrative efficiency, the Tribunal considers this 

date April 1st. As such, the parties should be prepared to discuss all additional assessments at hearings to be 

conducted on or after April 1st. If the hearing is to be conducted prior to April 1st, taxpayers would be required to 

file a new petition and, if necessary, protest the subsequent tax year assessment at the March Board of 

Review for that tax year. 

MOTIONS/REQUESTS: A motion is a written request filed by a party asking the Tribunal to take certain action. 

The following motions and requests (including subpoenas) may be filed by either party regarding the scheduled 

hearing. Motions and requests may be submitted by mail or through the Tribunal’s “e-filing” system, if available. 

If a motion or request is not granted or the Tribunal has not notified you that it has been granted, you are 

required to attend the hearing.

1. Motion to Adjourn: A party may request the hearing be rescheduled (i.e. adjourned). The motion must be 

submitted to the Tribunal and the opposing party at least 28 days before the hearing unless there are 

emergency circumstances. The emergency circumstances must be detailed to justify the granting of what 

would otherwise be considered a late motion. A $25 fee is required for the filing of the motion unless the case 

involves the valuation of property and the property at issue had a principal residence exemption of at least 50% 

at the time the petition was filed, for the tax years at issue, or the sole issue being appealed relates to a
