Indepth information on how to lower your taxes, Metro Detroit millage rates, and how to understand Michigan property taxes
How Michigan property taxes work - buying a home with non homesteaded taxesSo you are buying a home with non homesteaded taxes and you want to know how Michigan property taxes work. How long do you have to pay non-homesteaded taxes? When do non-homesteaded taxes become homesteaded taxes? What time of the year does that happen? How did this come up as a blog? I had a Redford home buyer tell me today that her husband told her if she bought a house that had non-homesteaded taxes that it would always be non-homesteaded taxes forever. They didn't want to look at Redford homes with non-homesteaded Michigan taxes because they thought they would forever be paying higher property taxes. So all this time they have been crossing off Redford home listings just because they have non homesteaded taxes. That's not the way it works. A Metro Detroit home becomes non-homesteaded if the property owner does not claim it as their primary residence and claim a homestead exemption. Examples of when a property is non-homesteaded are:
City adminisatories only change a home's property tax status from non homestead taxes to homesteaded on May 1. So if you buy a bank foreclosure on June 30 you will have to pay the higher non homesteaded tax rate until next year. On May 1 it would change to homesteaded taxes if you filed the homestead exemption with the city prior to May 1. So I hope this explanation about Michigan property taxes did explain more about homestead and non-homesteaded taxes. So you can look and buy a home with non-homesteaded property taxes. If you file your homestead tax exemption you will be paying the lower taxes after May 1 rolls around.

Metro Detroit property taxes and buying a Wayne County Home
Metro Detroit property taxes and buying a Wayne County home. I answer questions on another big real estate site, and somebody asked me if if the city reassessed a home after they purchased it. Here was my answer on how Metro Detroit property taxes worked when buying a Wayne County home.
When you buy a home Metro Detroit property taxes are not reassessed. (foreclosures and private owned homes are treated the same) What happens when you buy a home the property taxes are reset to the SEV (state equalized value) times the millage rate. So ask your realtor what the (state equalized value) SEV is and call the city to find the millage rate. Many times the city will tell you what the new Metro Detroit property taxes will be on a property. They will usually do it once for you.
Another way is to look at the current taxable rate and compare it to what the SEV. If the current taxable is less than the SEV then your taxes are going up. If the SEV is the same as the taxable value then it won't go up. Of course if the city raises the taxes on the property in the first year after you buy it, it changes the above scenarios. I hope this explains what happens when you buy your home.
