How the estimate works

This is an estimate, the only one on the site. The mills are as published; the dollar figures are calculated from them.

The default value is Kent County's median value of owner-occupied homes in 2024, $325,400, from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. It is a survey estimate, give or take $7,040, not a sale price or an assessment. The same value is used in every tax area, so the areas compare as the same home in different places.

Michigan assesses property at half its market value, and the year after a home sells, its taxable value resets to that assessment (MCL 211.27a). So a new buyer's yearly tax is about half the home's value, times the total mills, divided by 1,000.

Until a home sells again, its taxable value can rise each year by no more than 5% or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. Owners of many years usually pay less than a new buyer for the same home.

The estimate assumes the assessment matches the market value. It leaves out special assessments and fees, and any exemption or credit the owner may qualify for. Primary homes, which their owners live in, pay the homestead rate; rentals, second homes and businesses pay the non-homestead rate.

$325,400 × 0.5 × 19.8829 mills ÷ 1,000 = $3,235 a year, in Solon Township

Law: MCL 211.27a: assessment at 50% of true cash value, taxable value, and transfer of ownership.
