ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it entered an order 

holding Petitioner in default on June 9, 2026, because Petitioner failed to file a copy of 

the notice giving rise to the appeal, i.e., March Board of Review decision. On July 1, 

2026, the Tribunal extended the time for Petitioner to cure the default by an additional 

14 days, and they have failed to respond. Petitioner has not complied with either order, 

and the latter stated that “failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of 

the case” and referenced Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury.1 In Grimm, the Michigan Court of 

Appeals summarized factors that the Tribunal should 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 

 

Here, Petitioner’s failure to comply with multiple orders 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 in 

light of Petitioner’s history of noncompliance in this case. 

 

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 EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it entered an order 

holding Petitioner in default on June 9, 2026, because Petitioner failed to file a copy of 

the notice giving rise to the appeal, i.e., March Board of Review (BOR) decision.1 

Petitioner was required to cure the default by obtaining a copy of the BOR decision from 

Respondent and submitting a copy of the decision to the Tribunal within 14 days.2 

Petitioner has had ample time to comply, yet has failed to respond or submit the 

required filings. Though the Tribunal finds an extension of time to cure the default 

appropriate, Petitioner’s failure to comply with Tribunal orders and its Rules of Practice 

and Procedure has established a history of deliberate delay that would justify dismissal 

of the case for failure to timely comply with this order.3 

 

Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that the time for Petitioner to cure the default is EXTENDED. 

 

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

default: (1) file a copy of the BOR decision, (2) file a Motion to Set Aside Default, and 

(3) file proof the motion was served on Respondent. The foregoing must be filed with 

the Tribunal within 14 days of the entry of this order.4 

 

1 The order further stated, “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).” 

2 A list of Tribunal rules can be found online at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. 

3 See Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). 

4 “A submission by mail is considered filed on the date indicated by the United States Postal Service 

postmark on the envelope containing the submission. A submission without a postmark or with an illegible 

postmark is considered filed on the date the submission is received by the tribunal. A submission by 

commercial delivery service is considered filed on the date the submission is given to the commercial 

service for delivery to the tribunal as indicated by the receipt date on the package containing the 

submission. A submission by personal service is considered filed on the date the submission is received. 

A submission through the tribunal’s e-filing system by 11:59 p.m. on a business day is considered filed on 

that business day. A submission by email to the email address designated by the tribunal by 11:59 p.m. 

on a business day is considered filed on that business day. A submission on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a 

holiday is considered filed on the following business day, as provided by section 35a of the tax tribunal 

act, MCL 205.735a.” TTR 225(5).

CORRECTED ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER IN DEFAULT 

 

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in this case and finds that it issued an order holding 

Petitioner in default on May 14, 2026. The Tribunal erred in the issuance of that order 

as it failed to indicate why Petitioner was held in default. Consequently, the Tribunal 

finds it necessary to issue a corrected order. Specifically, Petitioner failed to file a copy 

of the notice giving rise to the appeal, i.e., March Board of Review (BOR) decision. As 

such, the petition is not properly pending. Petitioner must obtain a copy of the BOR 

decision from Respondent and submit a copy to the Tribunal within 14 days of the entry 

of this order. 

 

Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is HELD IN DEFAULT. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defaulted party shall cure the default, by submitting 

a copy of the March BOR decision within 14 days of the entry of this order. 

 

Failure to comply with this order will result in Petitioner being required to file a motion to 

set aside the default, with the appropriate filing 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.

Users who file documents with the Michigan Tax Tribunal are advised that filed 

documents are public records and will appear for public viewing on the Tax 

Docket Lookup. Users who file documents are responsible for ensuring sensitive or 

personal identifying information is withheld or redacted. See TTR 209. If a user wishes 

to file a document for consideration by the Michigan Tax Tribunal and prevent its 

publication on the Tax Docket Lookup, the user MUST file a Motion for Protective Order 

under MCR 2.302(C)(8). If a Protective Order is issued, documents covered by the 

Order will not be published. Documents filed prior to the issuance of a Protective Order 

will be published.

The responsibility for excluding or redacting personal identifying information (PII) from 

all documents filed with or offered to the Tribunal rests solely with the parties and 

their attorneys. The Tribunal is not responsible for or required to review, redact, or 

screen documents at the time of filing for PII whether filed electronically or on paper. A 

party, representative, or interested person (i.e. third party not part of an appeal) may 

request that the Tribunal redact PII contained in a previously-filed document by

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 26-000414

Page 2 of 2

submitting a Request for Redactions. The Request for Redactions form will be 

available on the Entire Tribunal and Small Claims pages of our website. 

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.

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.

STATE OF MICHIGAN

DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING & REGULATORY AFFAIRS

MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

The 2026 March Board of Review, acting within its authority as prescribed under State of Michigan Statute MCL 211.27a(3) denied petitioner's protest of assess

value. The Board of Review cited the property "at market value."

The assessment as equalized does not exceed 50% of True Cash Value. The sales of similar properties justifies the value.

 

Jurisdictional Issues:

IF PETITIONER IS APPEALING THE TRUE CASH AND/OR TAXABLE VALUES:

Did Petitioner protest the assessment at a Board of Review?

Yes

If Yes, check which Board of Review Petitioner attended:

March

If No, was the Notice of Assessment properly sent to Petitioner prior to the March Board of Review? 

*Submit a copy of the Notice of Assessment with the Answer.

If the July or December Board of Review revised the assessment(s) at issue, did it have authority? 

If yes, please cite the Board’s authority?

Was the assessment(s) at issue established as the result of a clerical error or mutual mistake of fact?

No

If yes, please explain

Is Petitioner appealing from a State Tax Commission Order?

No

If yes, when was it issued?

IF PETITIONER IS APPEALING THE UNCAPPING OF TAXABLE VALUE:

When was the Notice of Uncapping issued?

Under what statutory section was the taxable value uncapped?
