The dollar column is the annual bill at the uncapped taxable value — half the purchase price — at the homestead rate. Boundaries are approximate at the parcel level; confirm the district for a specific address with the district or the assessor.

Usually not. Michigan caps how fast taxable value can rise while one owner holds a property, and that cap comes off the year after it sells. The listed figure is the seller's capped bill; yours is calculated on the uncapped value, roughly half the price you pay.
Set the calculator to whichever municipality you're considering — the district rate follows the municipal line, not the school boundary.
When a Michigan home changes hands, its taxable value uncaps the following year and resets to roughly half the sale price. Buyers routinely get blindsided by a bill that's thousands higher than the listing showed. Here's your actual number.
Enter the purchase price and the property's current taxable value (it's on the listing, the assessor's site, or we'll pull it for you).
