Oakland County. Known for I 75 and I 696 access, postwar ranches, two school districts.
The Madison Heights market, honestly
Madison Heights is one of the last genuinely affordable entry points inside the I 75 and I 696 interchange, built out with postwar ranches and small colonials along John R and Dequindre. Oakland Mall and the industrial corridor sit next door, and the city splits between the Lamphere and Madison districts, which matters more to buyers than most sellers expect. Homes priced correctly move quickly because the buyer pool is deep and price sensitive.
That is why we match on evidence. When you ask for a Madison Heights agent, we look for closed sales in Madison Heights 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 Madison Heights 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.
Madison Heights contains 3 school district rates, from 2.31% to 2.90% of price. On a $400,000 home that is a $2,326 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Oak Schools | 46.2962 | 2.31% | $9,259 |
| Madison Public Schools | 48.7858 | 2.44% | $9,757 |
| Lamphere Public Schools | 57.9247 | 2.90% | $11,585 |
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.

Which Madison Heights school district has the lowest property taxes?
On 2025 homestead rates, Royal Oak Schools is the lowest in Madison Heights at 46.2962 mills, about 2.31% of what you pay for the house. The highest is Lamphere Public Schools at 57.9247 mills, about 2.90%. On a $400,000 home that gap is $2,326 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 Madison Heights?
Roughly $9,259 to $11,585 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.
