STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 City or Town West Bloomfield County Oakland State Michigan ZIP Code 48324 Taxing Authority (City or Township) Township Of West Bloomfield (OAKLAND) Check which of the following you are appealing: (check all that apply) True Cash and Taxable Values Please Explain the Reason for this Appeal: The assessed valuation exceeds the True Cash Value of the subject property as of December 31, 2025. Petitioner includes an independent, professional real estate appraisal completed by a licensed Michigan appraiser, effective as of December 31, 2025, with this submission. This appraisal demonstrates a True Cash Value of the subject property at $585,000. This would establish a Taxable Value of $292,500. Taxable, assessed and capped values should all be reduced. The taxable value was partially uncapped as a result of some improvements that were made to the property. The partial uncapping was in excess of the amount that should have resulted from the uncapping. The petitioners appealed to the local Board of Review, which provided an inadequate reduction to the assessed value and left the taxable and capped values unchanged. The appraiser notes that Comparable #2 was the most weighted based on “similar amenities and the least amount of adjustments” and includes the recent 1,094 square foot addition on slab, which added a family room, 3 bedrooms, bath and 636 square foot garage. They also note that the kitchen is dated with exception of flooring and that the deck and seawall are older. The current assessment does not reflect true market conditions or the actual physical and economic data of the property as demonstrated in appraisal report. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: March If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Year(s) Under Appeal: 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal:
