No statewide rate — the Michigan Constitution requires uniform assessment at no more than 50% of true cash (market) value, and under Proposal A each parcel's taxable value can rise no more than the rate of inflation or 5%, whichever is less. Tax bill = taxable value × locally set millages. Varies by locality.

IndianaInfo
Indiana's constitutional property-tax caps (circuit breaker credits) limit the bill to 1% of gross assessed value for homesteads, 2% for other residential and agricultural land, and 3% for nonresidential and personal property. Assessed value reflects market value-in-use; local levies set the rate. A homestead must receive the Homestead Standard Deduction to qualify for the 1% cap.

OhioInfo
Levied locally: tax applies to 35% of appraised (market) value times voted millage — a mill is $1 per $1,000 of assessed value. HB 920 "effective rate" reduction factors keep most bills from rising in step with property values; county auditors reappraise every 6 years (with a 3rd-year update). Rates vary by county and school district.

WisconsinInfo
Wisconsin's primary local tax: municipal assessors value most property at market value as of Jan 1 (the state assesses manufacturing property and equalizes values across municipalities), and school districts, municipalities, counties, technical colleges and special districts levy on it. School-levy, lottery-and-gaming (primary residence) and first-dollar credits reduce bills; municipal and county levy growth is generally limited to net new construction.
