Is there a city income tax in Crystal Falls?

Here’s some good news for anyone moving to Crystal Falls: 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 Crystal Falls isn’t one of them, and neither are Iron County’s other cities: Iron River, Caspian, and Gaastra. In fact, no community anywhere in the Upper Peninsula charges one.

Crystal Falls 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 away in the Lower Peninsula. So as a Crystal Falls 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.
