Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $1,851 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $1,559 to $6,807 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 81.69 mills for River Rouge City and River Rouge 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.
