Property values continue to shift—and so does the impact on your assessment. As the 2026 property tax cycle begins, Oakland County property owners must be equipped to verify their assessment, address inaccuracies, and take timely action if needed.

Moderated by Oakland County Treasurer Robert Wittenberg and presented by Equalization Officer Michael Lohmeier, this informative session will clarify how assessments are determined, how to read and review your Assessment Notice, and how to protect your interests throughout the appeals process.

You'll gain practical insight into mass appraisal methodology, the importance of your property record card, and the specific steps to take if you believe your property value is incorrect.

Whether you own a home, manage investment property, or operate a local business, this webinar will help you engage proactively and make informed decisions regarding your 2026 property assessment.
