Reading Michigan property taxes
Your taxes reset after you buy
Michigan caps yearly increases in taxable value for an owner, but the cap ends when the home sells. The year after you buy, taxable value is reset to the state equalized value, about half of market value. The seller’s current bill can be much lower than yours will be.
Primary residence or not
Homes that are the owner’s primary residence pay the lower rate. Second homes, rentals and vacant land pay the non-homestead rate, usually about 18 mills more.
What isn’t included
These rates leave out the 1% property tax administration fee, special assessments that aren’t levied by millage, and drain, lake or street assessments. Your tax bill shows the exact amount.
Estimate for planning only. Rates are those levied in 2025, as published by the Michigan Department of Treasury; 2026 rates are published in spring 2027. Taxable value is estimated at half the purchase price; the assessor sets the actual value. In a few areas, community college or school debt millage applies to only part of the area. For an exact figure, check with the city or township treasurer or ask your closer.
