The rankings

Michigan's biggest nearby property-tax gaps

Two homes can sit a short drive apart, use the same school district, and still carry very different published tax rates. This page ranks nearby place pairs where that local-rate gap is largest.

Each pair shares a school district, which holds one major part of the tax stack steady. Rates use Michigan Treasury's 2025 report; dollar figures assume a $300,000 purchase and about $150,000 in Taxable Value. The pairs come from nearby Census place centers, so treat this as a proximity screen, not proof of a shared border.

1,271 nearby pairs statewide clear the 3-mill floor; this page carries the top 50. Generated 2026-07-31 from the Treasury rate table and Census place centroids. A mill is $1 of tax per $1,000 of Taxable Value — theglossary has the rest of the vocabulary. *Annual dollar gaps use the same $300,000 purchase assumption.

The method

How the ranking works

We pair each Michigan city, township, and village with nearby places using Census place centers. A pair only qualifies when both places levy inside the same school district. That holds the district constant so the published gap reflects the other local taxes in each place.

The rate is the published primary-residence (PRE) total for each place in that shared district. Gaps under 3 mills are dropped, the list stops at 50, and the whole thing regenerates when Treasury publishes new rates. The data behind this page is free to reuse:the open data hub carries the full millage table with a field dictionary.

Center-to-center proximity does not prove two municipalities share a border or that a particular home is near one. A higher rate is not a verdict on a place; it may support services the other place does not levy for. Use the ranking to find a comparison worth checking, then confirm the parcel and taxing units.

Use this carefully: This is a planning comparison, not a parcel tax bill. Special assessments, exact boundaries, taxable value, exemptions, and later rate changes can alter the real amount.

Rules, rates, forms, office practices, and local facts can change. For a legal, tax, insurance, safety, or filing decision, confirm the current details with the responsible office or a qualified Michigan professional.
