No city income tax in Clare County

clare county city income tax home buying

Good news for your paycheck: neither of Clare County’s cities — Clare or Harrison — charges a local income tax. Only about two dozen Michigan cities have one, and neither of Clare’s is on that list. You’ll pay property taxes here, but not a separate city tax on your wages on top of the state income tax.
