Common questions
What is the property tax rate in Holly Township, Michigan?
Holly Township is taxed at 27.8444–39.1698 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 $4,873 a year.
Does the tax rate change by address within Holly Township?
Yes. Holly Township spans 3 school districts and the rate runs from 27.8444 to 39.1698 mills depending on the district your address falls in — a difference of $1,982 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 Holly Township?
About $4,873 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 Holly 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 Holly Township compare with the rest of Oakland County?
It is the 8 lowest of 52 municipalities in Oakland County and 83 of 236 across the eight-county region — 6.54 mills below the county median.
Is down payment assistance available for homes in Holly Township?
Likely, but verify per program: 100% of the 98 Holly 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.
