The Tribunal has reviewed the Stipulation and finds that it comports with the mandates 

of State law.1 As a result, the Tribunal shall enter the parties’ Stipulation. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that the Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment including all 

attachments, terms, and conditions is GRANTED and ADOPTED, unless otherwise 

indicated. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the officer charged with maintaining the assessment 

rolls for the tax years at issue shall correct or cause the assessment rolls to be 

corrected to reflect the property’s true cash and taxable values as provided in this 

Consent Judgment within 20 days of the entry of the Consent Judgment.2 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the officer charged with collecting or refunding the 

affected taxes shall collect taxes and any applicable interest or issue a refund as 

required by the Consent Judgment within 28 days of the entry of the Consent 

Judgment. If a refund is warranted, it shall, unless otherwise indicated, include a 

proportionate share of any property tax administration fees paid and of penalty and 

interest paid on delinquent taxes. The refund shall also, unless otherwise indicated, 

separately indicate the amount of the taxes, fees, penalties, and interest being 

refunded. A sum determined by the Tribunal to have been unlawfully paid shall, unless 

otherwise indicated, bear interest from the date of payment to the date of judgment and 

the judgment shall bear interest to the date of its payment. A sum determined by the 

Tribunal to have been underpaid shall not bear interest for any time period prior to 28 

days after the issuance of this Consent Judgment. Pursuant to MCL 205.737, interest 

shall accrue (i) after December 31, 2020, through June 30, 2022, at the rate of 4.25%,

SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

MTT Docket No. 25-002868

Township Of Grand Haven,

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.

MTT Docket No. 25-002868

Page 2 of 6

MEDIATION: Parties have the option of handling this case through mediation. 

Mediation is a voluntary process where a mediator facilitates communication between 

the parties, assists in identifying issues, and helps explore solutions to promote a 

mutually acceptable settlement. 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.

If you have any questions, please contact the Tribunal by phone at (517) 335-9760 or 

email taxtrib@michigan.gov.

Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply)

True Cash and Taxable Value, Taxable Value Only (calculation)

 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

This was assessed based on misinformation (that it has 60 feet of frontage on the Grand River). It has maybe a 1 foot.

My wife and I purchased this property on September 26, 2023. It had been on the market and off for years (I think 10 plus years). My mother still lives next door 

and I heard that the owner was still interested in selling it. I called the owner and told him that I was interested. We negotiated a cash price and my wife and I 

purchased (through our Revocable Trust Agreement) the parcel for $151,329, which covered the tax for the year. The SEV jumped in 2024 to $112,500 and they set 

the taxable value at $90,000. The notice was not sent to my home (it went to the property which did not have a mailbox or a home) and I missed the deadline to 

appeal. I was told that it was too late but to appeal in 2025. I received the 2025 assessment and appealed. It was denied and I am sending this. Their record shows 

that I have 60 feet of water frontage. At most I have 1 foot and the county GIS Map verifies. If I had 60 feet of frontage the assessment might be correct, however 

that is not the case. My neighbor (15796 Kitchel) sold their home in March 2024 for $746,000. Their assessment was for $385,000. It has a 4 bedroom, 3 bath 

home and 100 feet of frontage. My other neighbor, 15621 160th report says it has 80 feet of frontage, however it is obvious the number is much higher. I think 

someone erroneously took frontage from the Murray property and added it to ours. See GIS Map attached. See Property Reports for 15796 Kitchel and 15621 - 

160th ave included.

I paid more for the property than it was worth because it it next to my mother's property. I think the fair market value is between $120,000 - $130,000.

This property has a view of the water and at most has a very small access point to the water, measured at 1 84 feet This is 

based on the Ottawa county GIS map, attached for your review 

Further, 

| overpaid for the lot as it has more value to me 

than other potential buyers because it 1s next to my mothers house

Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply)

True Cash and Taxable Value, Taxable Value Only (calculation)

 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

This was assessed based on misinformation (that it has 60 feet of frontage on the Grand River). It has maybe a 1 foot.

My wife and I purchased this property on September 26, 2023. It had been on the market and off for years (I think 10 plus years). My mother still lives next door 

and I heard that the owner was still interested in selling it. I called the owner and told him that I was interested. We negotiated a cash price and my wife and I 

purchased (through our Revocable Trust Agreement) the parcel for $151,329, which covered the tax for the year. The SEV jumped in 2024 to $112,500 and they set 

the taxable value at $90,000. The notice was not sent to my home (it went to the property which did not have a mailbox or a home) and I missed the deadline to 

appeal. I was told that it was too late but to appeal in 2025. I received the 2025 assessment and appealed. It was denied and I am sending this. Their record shows 

that I have 60 feet of water frontage. At most I have 1 foot and the county GIS Map verifies. If I had 60 feet of frontage the assessment might be correct, however 

that is not the case. My neighbor (15796 Kitchel) sold their home in March 2024 for $746,000. Their assessment was for $385,000. It has a 4 bedroom, 3 bath 

home and 100 feet of frontage. My other neighbor, 15621 160th report says it has 80 feet of frontage, however it is obvious the number is much higher. I think 

someone erroneously took frontage from the Murray property and added it to ours. See GIS Map attached. See Property Reports for 15796 Kitchel and 15621 - 

160th ave included.

I paid more for the property than it was worth because it it next to my mother's property. I think the fair market value is between $120,000 - $130,000.
