megan01+FollowDetroit homebuyers blindsided by huge tax billImagine finally buying your dream home in Detroit, only to be hit with a property tax bill bigger than your down payment. That’s what happened to a Midtown couple, who opened their first full tax bill and found nearly $20,000 due—thanks to Michigan’s “uncapping” rule, which resets taxable value after a sale.
