Learn moreMichigan's flat state income tax, with no Farmington Hills add-on
Michigan levies a flat 4.25% state income tax. Farmington Hills does not appear on the Michigan Department of Treasury's own official list of the 24 Michigan cities levying a local income tax -- this record confirms NO Farmington Hills city income tax on that authoritative basis.
A discarded, unreliable aggregator figure -- disclosed honestly
One lower-confidence aggregator (LevyIO) suggested a 2.69% Farmington Hills local income-tax rate. This figure does not match Michigan's real local-income-tax rate structure (the 24 listed cities charge 1%/0.5%, a few named exceptions at 1.5%/0.75%, or Detroit's 2.4%/1.2%) and directly conflicts with the Treasury's own official list -- it was deliberately discarded rather than repeated.
Property tax runs above the Michigan median, with real source variation
Farmington Hills's own effective property tax rate carried a real, disclosed spread: 1.29% per Ownwell versus 1.59% per a separately-cited figure, with ZIP-level variation from 1.18% (48336) to 1.33% (48331) -- all above Michigan's statewide 1.05% median.
Michigan's standard homeowners-insurance range applies
Michigan average annual premiums carry a real, disclosed $1,943-$2,924/year statewide spread, with no Farmington-Hills-specific figure distinct from that range found this pass.
