Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $17,892 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $13,716 to $191,655 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 38.14 mills for Birmingham City and Birmingham 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.
