How do I calculate the transfer tax on the property I am selling?

Computing real estate transfer tax is done in increments of $500. The state charges $3.75 for each increment and the county charges $.55 (which an be up to $.75 as authorized by the county board of commissioners with a population more than 2,000,000 or more). These combined represents the total tax obligation.

The Michigan legislation states:

Beginning on January 1, 1995, except as otherwise provided in this section, the tax imposed under sections 3 and 4 is levied at the rate of $3.75 for each $500.00 or fraction of $500.00 of the total value of the property being transferred.
