The Commerce Township market, honestly
Commerce Township is lakes and subdivisions: Commerce Lake and Union Lake anchor the older waterfront stock, while 1990s and newer neighborhoods filled in the land between them. Retail along Martin Parkway and Haggerty made it a convenient alternative to Novi and West Bloomfield at a lower entry point. Buyers often shop it against three neighboring townships at once, so an agent who can argue the trade honestly wins the deal.
That is why we match on evidence. When you ask for a Commerce Township agent, we look for closed sales in Commerce Township 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 Commerce Township 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.
Commerce Township contains 3 school district rates, from 1.23% to 1.70% of price. On a $400,000 home that is a $1,896 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walled Lake Consolidated Schools | 24.5296 | 1.23% | $4,906 |
| Huron Valley Schools | 27.5203 | 1.38% | $5,504 |
| Walled Lake Consolidated Schools Village of WOLVERINE LAKE | 34.0119 | 1.70% | $6,802 |
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.

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.
