How to Search Michigan Property Records (Start Here)
Property records in Michigan are maintained at the county level. The County Equalization / Local Assessor handles property valuations and assessment data. The County Treasurer handles tax bills and payments. These are separate offices with separate databases.
What this page covers: Michigan property assessment lookups, tax record searches, and parcel/ownership data. What it does not cover: Recorded documents like deeds and mortgages (those are on the Recorded Documents page) or property transfer history.
Where to start: For property values and tax assessments, start with the County Equalization / Local Assessor. For tax payment history and bills, go to the County Treasurer. For ownership verification, you may need both the assessment records and the recorded documents.
Common mistake: Property assessment records (values and taxes) and recorded documents (deeds and liens) are maintained by different offices in Michigan. The County Equalization / Local Assessor handles assessments; the Register of Deeds handles recordings. Search both if you need the full picture.
