How it compares in Allen Park

Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $5,643 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $5,795 to $7,529 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 59.87 mills for Allen Park City and Allen Park 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.
