Common questions
What is the property tax rate in Marion Township, Michigan?
Marion Township is taxed at 22.6564–23.1853 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 $3,965 a year.
Does the tax rate change by address within Marion Township?
Yes. Marion Township spans 2 school districts and the rate runs from 22.6564 to 23.1853 mills depending on the district your address falls in — a difference of $93 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 Marion Township?
About $3,965 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 Marion 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 Marion Township compare with the rest of Livingston County?
It is the 9 lowest of 19 municipalities in Livingston County and 24 of 236 across the eight-county region — 0.20 mills below the county median.
Is down payment assistance available for homes in Marion Township?
Likely, but verify per program: 98% of the 125 Marion 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.

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.
