How it works
Michigan property taxes are expressed as millage. One mill represents a fixed amount of tax per one thousand dollars of assessed value. This page applies the uniform State Education Tax to assessed value to illustrate the statewide portion of property tax. Local millages are set separately by counties, cities, townships, and school districts.
Examples
A property’s assessed value is multiplied by the statewide millage to determine the state portion of property tax. Local millages are then applied independently by the relevant local taxing authorities, resulting in a higher total tax amount than the state portion alone.
Limitations and important notes
This page includes only the statewide State Education Tax. It does not include county, city, township, school district, or special authority millages. Actual property tax bills depend on local rates, voter-approved levies, and assessment rules that vary by location.
