Does the tax rate change by address within Arcadia Township?
Yes. Arcadia Township spans 3 school districts and the rate runs from 20.6206 to 25.9706 mills depending on the district your address falls in — a difference of $936 a year on a $350,000 home. The district table above lists every rate.
How much are property taxes on a $350,000 home in Arcadia Township?
About $3,609 a year at the homestead rate. Michigan taxes the taxable value, not the sale price, and after a sale that value uncaps to roughly half what you paid — so $350,000 is taxed on about $175,000.
Why is the tax bill on a Arcadia Township listing lower than what I would pay?
Because the figure on the listing is the seller's. Michigan caps annual taxable-value growth while an owner keeps the property, and that cap is removed the year after it sells. The longer the seller owned it, the further their bill sits below yours.
How does Arcadia Township compare with the rest of Lapeer County?
It is the 3 lowest of 21 municipalities in Lapeer County and 8 of 236 across the eight-county region — 1.64 mills below the county median.
