Property Tax Calculation
Proposal A (1994), the main legal document regarding property taxation in the State of Michigan, mandates that tax calculation is based on two main factors: Taxable Value (TV) and State Equalized Value (SEV).
Market Value
The Wayne County establishes the true cash value also known as market value, for all taxable real property in the city. Market value has been defined by The Supreme Court as the sale price of real estate as agreed upon between a willing buyer and willing seller, with neither being under duress to buy or sell.
Assessed Value
The State Equalized Value, also known as assessed value is determined by the local assessor, based on the property's condition on December 31 of the previous year and is calculated using an assessment ratio set by the State Legislature.
Exemptions and Taxable Value
Exemptions are available in Wayne 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
Base tax is calculated by multiplying the taxable value by the corresponding millage rates and is an estimate of what an owner not benefiting from any exemptions would pay. The rates are expressed as millages (i.e the actual rates multiplied by 1000).
Current tax represents the amount the present owner pays including exemptions.
Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement and financial assistance programs or to non ad-valorem taxes levied as special assessments and direct charges. For more information please visit Wayne County's Equalization, Treasurer or look up this property's tax situation, valuation and GIS.
