Wayne County. Known for Mid century ranches, city services, I 96 and I 275 access.
The Livonia market, honestly
Livonia is one of Wayne County's steadiest markets: mid century ranches and colonials on well kept streets, strong city services, and instant access to I 96 and I 275. First time buyers and downsizers compete for the same clean three bedroom ranch, so homes that show well go quickly and the agents who win here are the ones who prepare listings properly instead of just posting them.
That is why we match on evidence. When you ask for a Livonia agent, we look for closed sales in Livonia itself, in your price range, on your side of the city. If we do not have a strong local match, we say so instead of handing you to whoever is next in line.

What Livonia actually charges in property tax
Michigan bills in mills against taxable value, and taxable value resets to about half of market value the year after a home changes hands. That is why the seller's current tax bill is close to meaningless to you, and it is why the honest way to read these numbers is as a share of what you pay for the house: the millage divided by 2,000.
Livonia contains 2 school district rates, from 1.87% to 2.06% of price. On a $400,000 home that is a $757 a year difference between the cheapest and the most expensive street in the same city. Most buyers never find this out until the first bill arrives.
| School district | Millage | Share of price | Tax on a $400,000 home |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clarenceville School District | 37.4524 | 1.87% | $7,490 |
| Livonia Public Schools | 41.2361 | 2.06% | $8,247 |
Rates are 2025 totals for a principal residence with the Michigan homestead exemption. A second home, rental, or investment property adds roughly 18 mills of school operating tax on top. Special assessments for roads, police, or refuse can add more, and village residents pay a village levy as well.

Questions people ask
How fast will I hear back about a Livonia agent?
Usually within the hour during business hours. A real person from our Troy office reviews every request before any introduction happens.
Which Livonia school district has the lowest property taxes?
On 2025 homestead rates, Clarenceville School District is the lowest in Livonia at 37.4524 mills, about 1.87% of what you pay for the house. The highest is Livonia Public Schools at 41.2361 mills, about 2.06%. On a $400,000 home that gap is $757 every year, which is worth knowing before you fall in love with a street.
What will property taxes cost on a $400,000 home in Livonia?
Roughly $7,490 to $8,247 a year as a principal residence, depending on which district the address sits in. That assumes taxable value resets to about half of market value when you buy, which is what Michigan uncapping does. If you are not claiming it as your principal residence, add roughly 18 mills.
Is this really free?
Yes. Buyers and sellers never pay us anything. When a deal closes, the agent pays a standard referral fee out of their own commission. Your agreement with your agent is exactly the same as if you had found them yourself.
Do I have to work with the agent you match?
No. The match is an introduction, not a contract. If the fit is wrong, tell us and we will introduce someone else, or you can simply walk away.
