STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL · 611 W. OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Xhilda Beqiraj, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-000414 City of Novi, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm 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. 1 Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). 2 Id. at 149.

MTT Docket No. 26-000414 Page 2 of 2 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. Entered: July 28, 2026 By: /s/ Patricia L.

OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Xhilda Beqiraj, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-000414 City of Novi, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm 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).

GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Xhilda Beqiraj, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-000414 City of Novi, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm 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. Entered: June 9, 2026 By: /s/ Patricia L.

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.

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.

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.

Page 2
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?
