The Michigan Forest Tax Calculator
A parcel-level calculator estimates how much Michigan's Qualified Forest Program could reduce a landowner's property taxes.
Field notes
The form combines local jurisdiction selection with taxable value, acreage, ownership timing, and an optional parcel ID. Its estimate uses district-specific millage and reports current tax, enrolled tax, annual savings, ten-year savings, and savings per acre. The page also lays out the program's operational constraints: a 20-acre minimum, forested-share thresholds that vary by acreage, a management plan from an MDARD-registered forester, a $50 fee, and a September 1 application deadline.
