Common questions
What is the property tax rate in Fraser, Michigan?
Fraser is taxed at 46.5688 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 $8,150 a year.
Does the tax rate change by address within Fraser?
No. All of Fraser sits in Fraser Public School District, so the millage is 46.5688 at every address in the municipality. Your bill still changes after you buy, because it is recalculated on the uncapped taxable value rather than the seller's capped one.
How much are property taxes on a $350,000 home in Fraser?
About $8,150 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 Fraser 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 Fraser compare with the rest of Macomb County?
It is the 18 lowest of 24 municipalities in Macomb County and 188 of 236 across the eight-county region — 7.16 mills above the county median.
Is down payment assistance available for homes in Fraser?
Likely, but verify per program: 100% of the 88 Fraser sales evaluated by Down Payment Resource over the last 12 months were flagged as potentially matching at least one assistance program. The flag is an indicator, not a promise — compare the programs and check your numbers.
What your Fraser taxes become after you buy
Michigan taxable value uncaps the year after a sale and resets to roughly half the purchase price. The calculator below is already set to Fraser — enter a price and the seller's current taxable value.
Uncapping calculator

What will your tax bill be after closing?
Your taxable value uncaps the year after closing and resets to roughly half the purchase price — so a $350,000 home is taxed on about $175,000, whatever the seller was paying. Enter the price and the current taxable value below.
