Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $3,652 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $3,549 to $8,833 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 31.80 mills for Fort Gratiot Twp and Port Huron schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
