This isn't a Detroit thing. As far as I know, real estate listings everywhere list the current taxes. In Michigan, blame the Headlee Amendment for the big jump in taxes between owners.
Ignoring Headlee for a moment, taxes are based on assessed value. Don't ever assume assessed value is current. Cities and towns can reassess whenever they get around to it.
Bottom line, Renf did a quick calculation for guesstimating taxes. Anyone can, and should, do the same.
