Property tax relief for older homeowners
- Poverty exemption: Michigan law lets the local board of review exempt all or part of the taxes on a home for owners who meet income and asset rules. Apply with the Eastpointe assessor at Eastpointe City Hall, 23200 Gratiot Avenue, (586) 445-3661, using state Form 5737.
- Homestead Property Tax Credit: a state income tax credit that helps qualified homeowners and renters with property taxes, filed with your Michigan return.
- Principal Residence Exemption: make sure your home is listed as your principal residence, which exempts it from up to 18 mills of local school operating taxes.
- Behind on taxes? The county treasurer collects delinquent taxes and can explain payment plans before foreclosure.
