STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING ORLENE HAWKS DIRECTOR Rochester Michigan 48306 Taxing Authority (City or Township) Township Of Oakland (OAKLAND) County Oakland Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply) True Cash and Taxable Value Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal I am writing to formally request a review and reduction of the 2026 assessed and taxable values for my home at 3450 Sussex, Rochester, MI 48306. According to my 2026 Notice of Assessment, the tentative assessed value is $348,090, implying a market value of approximately $696,180. Under Michigan law, assessed value should not exceed 50% of a property’s true cash value, so this implies a typical selling price close to $700,000, which appears high for my neighborhood. The following nearby properties, all similar single family homes in Country Creek or very close by, sold recently for materially less: • 3727 Inverness – sold for $640,000 • 4595 Dunbar Ct – sold for $662,000 • 2879 Hastings Ct – sold for $630,000 These arms length sales suggest a market value in the low to mid $600,000s for properties comparable to mine, not nearly $700,000. After reviewing these sales, I believe a more accurate true cash value for my property would be closer to the average of these comparables, and the assessed value should be adjusted accordingly (approximately one half of that supported market value). Please let me know if you need additional documentation for these comparable sales. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Bradley Frank 3450 Sussex Rochester, MI 48306 312-890-5490 bradmfrank@gmail.com Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues Year(s) you are appealing: 2026 Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)?
