Michigan caps a homeowner's taxable value until the home sells, then it resets. That's about $3,650 a year more than this seller pays. The assessor's state equalized value (SEV) is $20,300. Your taxable value resets to the SEV the year after you buy, and assessors usually raise it to about half the sale price. Estimate uses Detroit's 2025 homestead rate of 64.18 mills and assumes you claim the homestead exemption. See Detroit's full tax breakdown or run the uncapping calculator.
