No. All of Lapeer Township sits in Lapeer Community School District, so the millage is 21.0232 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.
About $3,679 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.
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.
It is the 6 lowest of 21 municipalities in Lapeer County and 11 of 236 across the eight-county region — 1.24 mills below the county median.
