Common questions
What is the property tax rate in Dryden Township, Michigan?
Dryden Township is taxed at 23.9305–37.1406 mills for a homestead (principal residence) under the official 2025 Michigan Department of Treasury millage report. On a $350,000 home at the uncapped taxable value that is about $4,188 a year.
Does the tax rate change by address within Dryden Township?
Yes. Dryden Township spans 5 school districts and the rate runs from 23.9305 to 37.1406 mills depending on the district your address falls in — a difference of $2,312 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 Dryden Township?
About $4,188 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 Dryden 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 Dryden Township compare with the rest of Lapeer County?
It is the 16 lowest of 21 municipalities in Lapeer County and 41 of 236 across the eight-county region — 1.67 mills above the county median.
