Common questions
What is the property tax rate in Hartland Township, Michigan?
Hartland Township is taxed at 28.4412 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 $4,977 a year.
Does the tax rate change by address within Hartland Township?
No. All of Hartland Township sits in Hartland Consolidated Schools, so the millage is 28.4412 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 Hartland Township?
About $4,977 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 Hartland 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 Hartland Township compare with the rest of Livingston County?
It is the 17 lowest of 19 municipalities in Livingston County and 86 of 236 across the eight-county region — 5.58 mills above the county median.
Is down payment assistance available for homes in Hartland Township?
Likely, but verify per program: 96% of the 131 Hartland Township 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.
