Do you get a refund on city income taxes at the end of the year? I know that the rate is 1.25% for non residents and 2.5% for residents. I'd like to see Detroit reform their tax system, the taxes are outrageous. I was looking at buying a house in the city but after finding out the Property tax millege rate was 68 (compared to Royal Oak being 34 and Grosse Pointe being around 54) it would be too much. That $135,000 house in Palmer Woods had a property tax bill of $11,000. Ridiculous.
