If I moved during the year, may I claim a homestead property tax credit?

You may be eligible to claim a homestead property tax credit if all of the following apply:

• Your homestead is in Michigan.
• You were a resident of Michigan for at least six months during the year.
• You own or are contracted to pay rent and occupy a Michigan homestead on which property taxes were levied.
• If you own your home, your taxable value is $135,000 or less.
• Your total household resources are $60,000 or less. Part-year residents must annualize total household resources to determine if the credit reduction applies.
• If 100% of your total household resources are received from Michigan Department of Health and Human Services you do not qualify.
