Michigan SORA and Farmington Hills

All registered sex offenders in Farmington Hills are covered by the Sex Offenders Registration Act at MCL 28.721 et seq. SORA was first enacted in 1994 and has gone through major updates, including significant changes in 2021. The law sets who must register, how often they must check in, what information they must provide, and how long they stay on the registry. Michigan currently has about 45,000 registered offenders across the state.

Farmington Hills offenders are placed in one of three tiers based on their conviction. Tier I covers less serious offenses and requires 15 years of registration, with one annual check-in. Tier II covers offenses such as second-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520c and requires 25 years with twice-yearly verification. Tier III covers the most serious crimes, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520b, and means lifetime registration with quarterly check-ins. The tier is determined by the specific offense, not by a risk score.

Oakland County, where Farmington Hills sits, has its own circuit court and is served by the Oakland County Sheriff at oaklandsheriff.com. The sheriff's office is at 1200 N Telegraph Rd, Pontiac, and can be reached at 248-858-5000. For areas of Oakland County without their own police department, the sheriff handles sex offender registration. Farmington Hills has its own department and manages registration locally.

Failing to register or skipping a required check-in is a felony in Michigan. Under MCL 28.729, a first violation can bring up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine. A second offense can bring up to seven years. Tier I offenders in Farmington Hills may petition for removal from the registry after 10 years under the process in MCL 28.728c, provided all conditions are met.
