Last poster is clueless.....


Detroit's mill rate is 64 mills for 2009 and the Detroit' NEZ rate [[about 40 neighborhoods out of 125) is 50[[county and city) mills [[Indian Village included). Grosse Pointe City is 43.7[[city only + 7.8 for county) for 2008.

SEV's and taxable values in Detroit are usually about 1/3 to 1/2 of a similiar square footage/year built home in the 'burbs and are declining.

I live in a brick 2,700 sq ft home in a Detroit NEZ neighborhood and pay about $4,400 per year in city/county property tax.

Find me this home in GPP or Pleasant Ridge with only a $4,400 tax bill?

similiar home in GPP taxable value 150,000-200,000 X 43mill+7 mills= 7500-10,000

Let's compare apples to apples......
