In Michigan, a home's assessed value, in theory, should be approximately 50% of the estimated market value. Local assessors calculate how much your home is worth in the open market by using the “comparative sales” method to value your home. That number is then divided by two to reach the assessed value.

The taxable value is the value on which property taxes are calculated. It can be found on the property tax statement or by contacting the local assessor.
