Data + methodology
Source: Mason County Public Records.
SEV (State Equalized Value) — set at 50% of true cash value by the local assessor (Michigan Constitution, Article IX § 3).
Taxable Value (TV) — the value annual property taxes are calculated against. TV rises annually by the lesser of CPI or 5% under Proposal A (1994). On ownership transfer, TV resets up to SEV the following year ("uncapping") per MCL 211.27a.
Annual tax = TV × millage ÷ 1000, per MCL 211.34d.
Uncapping difference = SEV − TV. The amount TV would jump to if the property transferred today, before any millage changes or exemption adjustments.
Tax-cost calculations use 2025 millage rates from the Michigan Department of Treasury Property Tax Estimator. Tax calculation availability is limited to parcels with school districts listed in public records. The state publishes millage rates annually on its own cadence (the L-4029 Total Rates Report) and your title company or local assessor may have more recent certified figures.
