WHY ARE MY PROPERTY TAXES SO HIGH IN CADILLAC?! 🏠😳

Let’s make this SIMPLE.

Imagine your house is worth $100,000.

The government says: 👉 “Don’t worry… we’ll only raise your value a LITTLE each year.”
(that’s the cap from Proposal A of 1994)

So you’re thinking: 👍 “Okay, my taxes shouldn’t go up much.”

BUT HERE’S WHAT NO ONE EXPLAINS 👇

Every time people vote YES in your area…

Schools 🏫

Jail 👮‍♂️

Roads 🚧

Fire department 🚒

Libraries 📚

👉 They ADD another “tax layer” to your house
(This is allowed under Headlee Amendment)

Now picture this:

Your house didn’t change much… BUT

You now have:
House tax ✔️
School tax ✔️✔️
County tax ✔️✔️✔️
City tax ✔️✔️✔️✔️
Extra millages ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

💥 That’s why Cadillac can be around 60+ mills
While nearby areas might only be 30-ish

👉 Same price house

👉 VERY different tax bill

🔥 HERE’S THE TRUTH:
Your taxes didn’t jump because your house doubled…

👉 They went up because more tax layers were added over time

😳 AND THE BIG SURPRISE:
When you sell your house…

👉 Your tax value resets to today’s price
So the new buyer pays WAY more than you did

BOTTOM LINE:
✔️ Your home value increase is capped
❌ The number of taxes added is NOT

If you’re buying or selling, this matters A LOT.
I can show you what taxes will actually look like before you make a move—because this catches people off guard all the time.

80 ACRES surrounded by PUBLIC LAND 🌲🦌

This is the kind of property people wait years for…

✔️ Shared pond with state land (video attached 👇)✔️ High & dry buildable ground✔️ Hard woods with oak + wildlife habitat✔️ Established trail system for quads/horses✔️ Commercial Forest = ONLY ~$110/year taxes

If you’re looking for a serious hunting parcel or a private camp tucked into thousands of acres of public land… this is it.

Personally? I’d clear a 2–3 acre food plot, leave the natural cover, and let the deer come to YOU.

📍 Just north of Cadillac, near Long Lake💲 325,000

I don’t always take the time to share what’s happening behind the scenes, but here’s a snapshot of some recent activity.

From vacant land to residential homes, I’ve been working with both buyers and sellers across Northern Michigan — including Manistee and surrounding areas.

The market doesn’t stop in the winter… and neither do serious buyers.

If you’ve been thinking about selling, or are curious what your property could bring in today’s market, I’d be happy to have a conversation.
