Is there a city income tax in Munising?
Money and taxes
Here’s some good news for anyone moving to Munising: there’s no city income tax to worry about. Michigan does let cities charge a local income tax — about two dozen of them do, including bigger places like Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Saginaw — but Munising isn’t one of them, and neither is anywhere else in the Upper Peninsula.
Munising is a city, so it could in theory adopt one someday, but it never has. The nearest town that charges a local income tax is Grayling, well over a hundred miles south in the Lower Peninsula. So as a Munising resident, the income taxes you’ll pay are the federal and the state — Michigan’s flat state income tax — and that’s it. Your local taxes here come through your property tax bill, not your paycheck.
