About Michigan

Michigan

Michigan pairs a flat 4.25% state income tax with a flat 6% sales tax and no local sales tax. Property taxes are set locally by millage and vary between cities and school districts. A couple dozen Michigan cities also levy a local income tax — but most, including Sterling Heights, do not.
