Common questions
What is the property tax rate in Saline Township, Michigan?
Saline Township is taxed at 31.7735–35.4574 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 $5,560 a year.
Does the tax rate change by address within Saline Township?
Yes. Saline Township spans 3 school districts and the rate runs from 31.7735 to 35.4574 mills depending on the district your address falls in — a difference of $645 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 Saline Township?
About $5,560 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 Saline 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 Saline Township compare with the rest of Washtenaw County?
It is the 5 lowest of 27 municipalities in Washtenaw County and 112 of 236 across the eight-county region — 2.85 mills below the county median.
