What the difference costs over time
Held for 10 years, that gap compounds to $4,560 at today's rates on a $350,000 home — before any millage change. At $250,000 the annual difference is $326; at $500,000 it is $651. The gap scales with price, so it matters more at the top of each city's market than at the bottom.
Choosing the district can matter more than choosing the city. Inside Huron Township alone the homestead rate runs 38.3702 to 42.5902 mills — a $739 annual swing on a $350,000 home, wider than the $456 gap between the two cities. Two houses on the same street can sit either side of that line.
All figures use each city's lowest homestead rate at the uncapped taxable value — roughly half the purchase price — from the Michigan Department of Treasury's 2025 Total Rates report. A non-homestead property adds about 18 mills on top in either city.
