Att'n: Mr. Herman Stephens
Director of Equalization Department
Dear Herman:
The City of Royal Oak appeared before the Michigan Tax Tribunal in regards
to the 1978, 1979 and 1980 State Equalized Value of Meijers, Inc. located
at 5150 Coolidge Hwy., Royal Oak, Michigan.
One of the requirements of the appeal was a fee appraisal and court time
for the appraiser which amounted to $5,350.
. In our previous conversations it was my understanding that the county would
contribute their percentage of the tax rate to such an expense.
I have calculated same which is listed below:
MEIJERS APPEAL
20-32-301-011
1978 Total Rate $69.86
County Rate $05.48
1979 Total Rate $69.51
County Rate $05.1449
1980 Total Rate $64.62
County Rate $04.9432
= 7.84%
= 7.36%
= 7.65%
The average percentage of the county rate to our total tax rate for the three
years is 7.6167%. Total cost of $5,350 X 7.6167 = $407.49.
Our City would appreciate reimbursement of same as convenient.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Very truly yours,
