Detroit property taxes

The Coalition for Property Tax Justice said Attorney General Dana Nessel told them she would issue a legal opinion on whether the city can compensate some homeowners in cash or with property tax credits. The Coalition said that’s the appropriate way to redress historical property over-assessments that led to over-taxation, which helped fuel a wave of tax foreclosures in Detroit.

The Coalition for Property Tax Justice says data show Detroit continues to systematically over-assess and over-tax some homes—a claim Mayor Mike Duggan’s administration vigorously denies.

The average value of a Detroit home rose more than 30% in the past year. It’s up more than 60% since 2018.
