Property taxes: the seller's bill vs. yours

This seller today You, the year after buying
Taxable value$123,980about $248,500
Yearly property tax$4,729about $9,478

Michigan caps a homeowner's taxable value until the home sells, then it resets. That's about $4,749 a year more than this seller pays. The assessor's state equalized value (SEV) is $213,960. 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 Birmingham's 2025 homestead rate of 38.14 mills and assumes you claim the homestead exemption. See Birmingham's full tax breakdown or run the uncapping calculator.
