FAQ
In some cases, a local government will assess taxes on only a percentage of the value of the property. To calculate the assessed value when a local government uses such a percentage, you'll have to take the property's fair market value and multiply it by the chosen percentage.
Contact your local Property Tax Office and ask them for the appraised value of your homestead property - that would be the "taxable value" of your homestead property. You would also see this value on your annual property tax statement.
In Michigan, a home's assessed value, in theory, should be approximately 50% of the estimated market value. Local assessors calculate how much your home is worth in the open market by using the “comparative sales” method to value your home. That number is then divided by two to reach the assessed value.
The taxable value is the value on which property taxes are calculated. It can be found on the property tax statement or by contacting the local assessor.
Tax information can be obtained from the Treasurer's Office either by parcel number, address, or owner name. Taxpayers can access tax amounts and taxable values to be used in preparing federal and state tax returns by viewing the information online, visiting the Treasurer's Office, or by phoning 734-722-2000.
General claimants who do not qualify for special consideration receive a homestead property tax credit equal to 60% of the amount their property taxes exceed 3.5% of their income, up to $1,200. This credit may be claimed regardless of whether or not a Michigan income tax return (form MI-1040) must be filed.
Public Act 74 of 1995 provides for an exemption to be filed by mail or in person at the July or December Board of Review for the year of the claim, or the following year's July or December Board of Review. To petition the Board of Review you must submit a signed Affidavit for Homestead Exemption (form 2368).
You must live in the home to qualify for the tax break. Some states exempt a certain percentage of a home's value from property taxes, while other states exempt a set dollar amount. If your state uses a percentage method, the exemption will be more valuable to homeowners with more valuable homes.
Filing an Affidavit for Homestead Exemption (form 2368) available at the closing or from your local assessor may qualify new residences.
Pursuant to MCL 211.7u, eligible low-income homeowners may apply for an exemption from property taxes. An eligible person must own and occupy his/her home as a principal residence (homestead) and meet poverty income standards.
