Assessed Value: According to Michigan property tax law, city assessors are required to set the assessed value at 50% of the sale price or estimated market value—the amount a property would sell for in a competitive market.
Taxable Value is how much the owner will pay taxes on. Taxable Value is the previous year’s Taxable Value increased by the Consumer Price Index or 5%, unless there were physical changes to the property or a transfer of ownership occurred. In Michigan, taxes are based on Taxable Value. Taxable Value can never be greater than the Assessed Value.
