Section 792.10209. Costs.

Rule 209. (1) The tribunal may, upon motion or its own initiative, award costs  in  a contested case, as provided by section 52 of the tax tribunal act, MCL 205.752.

(2)   If costs are awarded, a bill of costs shall be filed and served within 21 days of the entry of the order awarding costs, unless otherwise provided by the tribunal. A party may file a response objecting to the bill of costs or any item in the bill within 14 days after service of the copy of the bill, unless otherwise provided by the tribunal. Failure to file an objection to the bill of costs within the applicable time period constitutes a waiver of any right to object to the bill.

(3)   The bill of costs shall state separately each item claimed and the amount claimed, and shall be verified by affidavit of the party or the party’s attorney or authorized representative. The affidavit shall state that each item is correct and was necessarily incurred.
