Estimated property tax a year

$11,379

After a sale, on half the price, at the 2025 rate. An estimate, not a bill.

Taxable value after the sale, half the price: $175,000
Rate: 65.0247 mills
Property tax a year: $11,379
About a month, for escrow: $948

A sale uncaps the home's taxable value: the year after you buy, it resets to the state equalized value, about half of market value, so your taxes can be well above the seller's. Your assessor sets the real value, and rates change each year.

The year's total comes in two bills: summer taxes become a lien July 1 and winter taxes December 1, each with its own levies. Your first year is shared with the seller at closing; the full amount here starts the year after.

65.02 mills on a principal residence and 83.02 mills on other homes in 2025, from Michigan Treasury's total rates. A mill is $1 for each $1,000 of taxable value; with the taxable value at half the price, that is about 3.25% of the price a year on a home you live in.

Why can my taxes be higher than the seller's?
