Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my Oakland Township home is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood. Look for assessment errors like incorrect square footage or features. If your assessment seems high relative to what comparable homes have sold for, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for property tax appeals in Oakland Township?
Appeals must be filed with the Oakland Township Board of Review by the second Tuesday in July for the following year's taxes. Missing this deadline can eliminate your right to appeal, so contact us early if you're considering an appeal.
Can you help with new construction assessment issues?
Yes, our construction background makes us particularly well-suited to help with new construction assessment issues. We can review initial assessments to ensure they accurately reflect your home's value and features from the start.
What information do I need for a property tax appeal?
Bring your assessment notice, recent comparable sales data if you have it, and any documentation of property issues or assessment errors. We'll help gather additional evidence needed to support your case.
How much can I expect to save if my appeal is successful?
Savings vary widely based on individual circumstances. Successful appeals in our area typically achieve 5-20% assessment reductions, though some cases achieve larger reductions depending on the evidence and specific issues involved.
Do you handle appeals outside of Oakland Township?
Our primary focus is Oakland Township and immediately surrounding communities where we have the most detailed market knowledge. For properties in other areas, we can provide referrals to qualified professionals.
What happens if my board of review appeal is unsuccessful?
If your local appeal is unsuccessful, you may have options for further appeal to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. We can discuss these options and provide referrals to qualified attorneys if more specialized representation is needed.
How long does the property tax appeal process take in Oakland Township?
Most board of review appeals are resolved within 3-6 months from filing. The township board typically meets during the summer appeal period, and decisions are usually issued within 30-60 days after hearings conclude.
