 MTT Docket No. 24-004238

City of Ovid,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

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

The petition was not filed by May 31 or the next business day after the Tribunal offices 

were closed. See MCL 205.735a(6). 

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the case is DISMISSED.

This Order resolves all pending issues and closes the 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

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 24-004238

Page 2 of 6

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.

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.

Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal 

| am uncertain whether the Michigan Tax Tribunal has jurisdiction in this case as the Petitioner missed the 

filing deadline. MCL 205.735a(6) indicates that 

“The jurisdiction of the tribunal in an assessment dispute 

as to property classified under section 34c of the general property tax act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.34c, as 

commercial real property +++ is invoked by a party in interest, as petitioner, filing a written petition on or 

before May 31 of the tax year involved.” 

This did not occur. It appears that the petition was received by 

the Tribunal on January 7, 2025, although 2024 was erroneously stamped on the form. 

If the Michigan Tax Tribunal rules that they do have jurisdiction, the facts of the case are as follows. The 

subject property consists of 3 parcels, two commercial store fronts and a large second story storage area. 

The parcels were assessed correctly as individual commercial units in 2024. A clerical error was not 

made. Assessment change notices (See attached) were mailed to the Petitioner in February of 2024 to 

the address listed on this petition by KCI (a commercial printing and mailing company). The Petitioner did 

not protest to the March Board

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 

 

ORDER PLACING RESPONDENT IN DEFAULT 

 

On February 24, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion requesting the Tribunal set aside the 

default entered in this case on January 21, 2025. 

 

Respondent has not filed a response to the motion. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Petitioner was 

held in default because they filed the wrong petition, did not pay the full required filing 

fee, and did not submit a multi-parcel petition form. Petitioner timely responded but 

failed to cure the default, and the Tribunal entered an order extending the time to cure 

on February 14, 2025. The Tribunal partly erred in the entry of the February 14, 2025 

order because Petitioner paid the fee on February 5, 2025. The fee simply had not 

been processed as of the entry of that order. Having now filed the petition, multi-parcel 

petition form, petition fee, motion, motion fee, and proof of service of the motion, 

Petitioner has complied with the Tribunal’s orders as required by TTR 237. As such, the 

Tribunal finds good cause to grant the motion and set aside the default. 

 

The Tribunal further finds that it entered a Notice of Docket Number on January 17, 

2025. That notice indicated in pertinent part that Respondent was required to file an 

answer to the petition within 28 days. Sufficient time to respond was allowed, but no 

response was received. Respondent is therefore subject to default under Tribunal 

rules.1 Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion to Set Aside Default is GRANTED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent is held in DEFAULT. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent must complete the following to cure the 

default: file an answer to the petition. The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal 

 

1 TTR 237.

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 24-004238 

Page 2 of 2 

 

within 14 days of entry of this Order.2 

 

Failure to comply with this Order will result in Respondent being required to file a motion 

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

Patricia L. Halm 

ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL 

ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that Petitioner filed this 

appeal on December 27, 2024, disputing the true cash and taxable values of Parcel 

Nos. 580-000-018-010-01, 580-000-018-011-00, and 580-000-018-011-01 for the 2023 

and 2024 tax years. However, the Tribunal has no authority over the 2023 tax year as 

the petition was not filed prior to the deadline set forth in MCL 205.735a(6).! Although 

the petition indicated a purported data entry error with regard to the property's taxable 

value, Petitioner's clerical error allegations relate to the 2024 tax year and not the 2023 

tax year. As a result, the Tribunal also has no authority under MCL 211.53a, as the 

facts alleged do not establish that the subject property's 2023 assessment was 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 And though MCL 211.53b provides July and 

December Boards of Review with the authority to correct qualified errors, Petitioner did 

not appear before Respondent's 2023 July or December Board of Review or appeal an 

action taken by any such board. 

For the 2024 tax year, even though Petitioner failed to 

timely file the appeal by the deadline set forth in MCL 205.735a, the petition indicated 

that there is as a question of fact as to whether the jurisdiction of the Tribunal has been 

properly invoked. As such, 

it is appropriate for the 2024 appeal to move forward with 

the Tribunals jurisdiction being a question of fact for hearing. 

Furthermore, the Tribunal notes that Petitioner was held in default on January 21, 2025, 

1 MCL 205.735a(6) provides that “[t]he jurisdiction of the tribunal in an assessment dispute as to property 

classified...as commercial real property, industrial real property, developmental real property, commercial

for failing to file the proper petition form, failing to file a muitiple-parcel valuation form, 

and for failing to pay the full, required petition filing fee.® On January 24, 2025, 

Petitioner filed the correct valuation appeal petition form and a multiple parcel 

attachment to a valuation petition form in

ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL 

 

ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that Petitioner filed this 

appeal on December 27, 2024, disputing the true cash and taxable values of Parcel 

Nos. 580-000-018-010-01, 580-000-018-011-00, and 580-000-018-011-01 for the 2023 

and 2024 tax years. However, the Tribunal has no authority over the 2023 tax year as 

the petition was not filed prior to the deadline set forth in MCL 205.735a(6).1 Although 

the petition indicated a purported data entry error with regard to the property’s taxable 

value, Petitioner’s clerical error allegations relate to the 2024 tax year and not the 2023 

tax year. As a result, the Tribunal also has no authority under MCL 211.53a, as the 

facts alleged do not establish that the subject property’s 2023 assessment was 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 And though MCL 211.53b provides July and 

December Boards of Review with the authority to correct qualified errors, Petitioner did 

not appear before Respondent’s 2023 July or December Board of Review or appeal an 

action taken by any such board. For the 2024 tax year, even though Petitioner failed to 

timely file the appeal by the deadline set forth in MCL 205.735a, the petition indicated 

that there is as a question of fact as to whether the jurisdiction of the Tribunal has been 

properly invoked. As such, it is appropriate for the 2024 appeal to move forward with 

the Tribunal’s jurisdiction being a question of fact for hearing. 

 

Furthermore, the Tribunal notes that Petitioner was held in default on January 21, 2025, 

 

1 MCL 205.735a(6) provides that “[t]he jurisdiction of the tribunal in an assessment dispute as to property 

classified…as commercial real property, industrial real property, developmental real property, commercial 

personal property, industrial personal property, or utility personal property is invoked by a party in interest, 

as petitioner, filing a written petition on or before May 31 of the tax year involved.
