Is there a city income tax in Ironwood or Bessemer?
Michigan Treasury's current list of 24 income-tax cities includes none in Gogebic County or anywhere else in the Upper Peninsula.
Short answer: no. Michigan Treasury’s current list names 24 cities that levy taxes related to income. Bessemer, Ironwood, and Wakefield are not on it. Neither is any other Upper Peninsula city.
For an individual wage earner, that means there is no separate Gogebic city income tax simply because you live or work in one of those three cities. Federal and Michigan income taxes still apply, and property tax is a separate local bill.
A city could adopt an income tax later, so use Treasury’s list as the final check if you are making a tax or moving decision. This page is a plain-English starting point, not tax advice.
