The Chesterfield market, honestly
Chesterfield Township sits on Anchor Bay at the top of Lake St. Clair, mixing canal and waterfront neighborhoods with newer subdivisions built out along 23 Mile and I 94. L'Anse Creuse and Anchor Bay schools split the township. Waterfront here trades on seawall condition, canal depth, and bay access as much as on the house itself, which is why generalist pricing misses so often.
That is why we match on evidence. When you ask for a Chesterfield agent, we look for closed sales in Chesterfield itself, in your price range, on your side of the city. If we do not have a strong local match, we say so instead of handing you to whoever is next in line.

What Chesterfield actually charges in property tax
Michigan bills in mills against taxable value, and taxable value resets to about half of market value the year after a home changes hands. That is why the seller's current tax bill is close to meaningless to you, and it is why the honest way to read these numbers is as a share of what you pay for the house: the millage divided by 2,000.
Chesterfield contains 3 school district rates, from 1.31% to 1.46% of price. On a $400,000 home that is a $600 a year difference between the cheapest and the most expensive street in the same city. Most buyers never find this out until the first bill arrives.
| School district | Millage | Share of price | Tax on a $400,000 home |
|---|---|---|---|
| L'Anse Creuse Public Schools | 26.2405 | 1.31% | $5,248 |
| New Haven Community Schools | 27.5005 | 1.38% | $5,500 |
| Anchor Bay School District | 29.2405 | 1.46% | $5,848 |
Rates are 2025 totals for a principal residence with the Michigan homestead exemption. A second home, rental, or investment property adds roughly 18 mills of school operating tax on top. Special assessments for roads, police, or refuse can add more, and village residents pay a village levy as well.

Questions people ask
How fast will I hear back about a Chesterfield agent?
Usually within the hour during business hours. A real person from our Troy office reviews every request before any introduction happens.
Which Chesterfield school district has the lowest property taxes?
On 2025 homestead rates, L'Anse Creuse Public Schools is the lowest in Chesterfield at 26.2405 mills, about 1.31% of what you pay for the house. The highest is Anchor Bay School District at 29.2405 mills, about 1.46%. On a $400,000 home that gap is $600 every year, which is worth knowing before you fall in love with a street.
What will property taxes cost on a $400,000 home in Chesterfield?
Roughly $5,248 to $5,848 a year as a principal residence, depending on which district the address sits in. That assumes taxable value resets to about half of market value when you buy, which is what Michigan uncapping does. If you are not claiming it as your principal residence, add roughly 18 mills.
Is this really free?
Yes. Buyers and sellers never pay us anything. When a deal closes, the agent pays a standard referral fee out of their own commission. Your agreement with your agent is exactly the same as if you had found them yourself.
Do I have to work with the agent you match?
No. The match is an introduction, not a contract. If the fit is wrong, tell us and we will introduce someone else, or you can simply walk away.
