Metro Detroit property research

Know what you're actually buying.

Michigan property taxes reset the year after you buy, and almost every listing shows the seller's old bill instead of yours. We publish the real millage for all 236 Metro Detroit cities and 203 school districts — with housing stock, lead and radon — plus the calculators that turn it into your number. Free, and built on official state data.

Five calculators nobody else built

Every one runs on the Michigan Treasury's official 2025 millage rates — 236 municipalities and 203 school districts across eight Southeast Michigan counties.

Official 2025 Michigan Treasury millage

Property tax rates for every Metro Detroit city

All 236 municipalities and 203 school districts across eight counties, with the real millage, the school-district breakdown, and what your bill becomes after you buy. Rates run from 14.77 mills to 73.69 — a $10,311 a year difference on the same $350,000 home.

A school district is not a taxing unit

Same schools, thousands a year apart

112 of the 203 districts span more than one municipality, and the local millage stacked on top varies by up to 26 mills between them. Taylor School District runs 27.5563 mills in Brownstown Township and 54.1387 in Inkster — $4,652 a year on a $350,000 home, for children in the identical schools. Almost nobody checks this before writing an offer.
