Yes. Cohoctah Township spans 6 school districts and the rate runs from 18.4114 to 28.3412 mills depending on the district your address falls in — a difference of $1,738 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 Cohoctah Township?
About $3,222 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 Cohoctah 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 Cohoctah Township compare with the rest of Livingston County?
