Common questions
What is the property tax rate in Grosse Pointe Shores Village, Michigan?
Grosse Pointe Shores Village is taxed at 52.4293 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 $9,175 a year.
Does the tax rate change by address within Grosse Pointe Shores Village?
No. All of Grosse Pointe Shores Village sits in Grosse Pointe Public School District, so the millage is 52.4293 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 Grosse Pointe Shores Village?
About $9,175 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 Grosse Pointe Shores Village 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.
