County-accurate 2026 property tax estimates for Michigan — each county below is pre-loaded with its own effective rate, assessment rules and exemptions.
Property tax in Michigan
How homes are assessed
Michigan taxes 'taxable value' capped at 50% of market value (State Equalized Value); taxable value growth is capped at inflation or 5%/yr until the property transfers.
Homestead exemption
Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) exempts the home from up to 18 mills of school operating tax — a rate reduction rather than a dollar exemption.
Appeal window
March Board of Review in the local township/city; further appeal to the Michigan Tax Tribunal by the end of July for residential.
Due dates
Summer bills due September 14; winter bills due February 14 (local variation exists).
