Who qualifies for a homestead property tax credit?
You may qualify for a homestead property tax credit if all of the following apply:

- If you own your home, your taxable value was $136,600 or less
- Your total household resources were $60,600 or less. Part-year residents must annualize total household resources to determine if
the credit reduction applies. - If 100% of your total household resources were received from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, you do not
qualify
