Common questions
What is the property tax rate in Mayfield Township, Michigan?
Mayfield Township is taxed at 21.0327 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 $3,681 a year.
Does the tax rate change by address within Mayfield Township?
No. All of Mayfield Township sits in Lapeer Community School District, so the millage is 21.0327 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 Mayfield Township?
About $3,681 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 Mayfield 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 Mayfield Township compare with the rest of Lapeer County?
It is the 7 lowest of 21 municipalities in Lapeer County and 12 of 236 across the eight-county region — 1.23 mills below the county median.
Is down payment assistance available for homes in Mayfield Township?
Likely, but verify per program: 100% of the 47 Mayfield 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.
