Property Tax Calculation
Proposal A (1994), the constitutional amendment that established Michigan's current property tax system, provides that property taxes are calculated primarily based on a property's taxable value, while the State Equalized Value (SEV) serves as an assessment benchmark and plays an important role in determining taxable value, particularly when ownership is transferred.
Market Value
The Oakland County Equalization Department establishes the true cash value also known as market value, for all taxable real property in the county. Under Michigan law, it is generally based on the price a willing buyer would pay and a willing seller would accept in an open market transaction, with neither party being required to buy or sell.
Assessed Value
The State Equalized Value (SEV) is the property's Assessed Value after county and state equalization reviews. The local assessor determines the assessed value based on the property's condition as of December 31 tax day of the previous year. Under Michigan law, property is generally assessed at 50% of its market value.
Exemptions and Taxable Value
Exemptions are available in Oakland County which may lower the property's tax bill. These are deducted from the property's assessed value to give the property's taxable value.
Property Tax
The base tax is calculated by multiplying the assessed value by the applicable millage rates and represents an estimate of the amount a property owner would pay without any exemptions.
Notice that we used 2025 millage rates since 2026 values are not available yet.
The current tax is calculated by multiplying the taxable value by the applicable millage rate. The resulting amount reflects the tax payable by the property owner after the application of any exemptions.
Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement and financial assistance programs. For more information please visit Oakland County's Department of Equalization, Treasurer or look up this property's current valuation and tax information.
