Which Marquette details matter for your address?
Marquette County lists the City separately from Marquette Township and Chocolay Township. The City Assessing office describes its work as covering property within the City limits; we can help identify the right local office for your address. See the City Assessing office and the County municipality list.
The City’s Community Master Plan identifies the Historic Core, including downtown and waterfront areas, and describes West Marquette as largely developed after World War II. We look at the actual house and its terms rather than assume they are the same across neighborhoods. See the City Community Master Plan.
What costs should you compare?
For a listing, compare repair and cleanout estimates, preparation and showing needs, costs in the listing agreement, and bills you may carry while the house is for sale. For a direct offer, compare its written price and terms with your payoff and other property costs. A headline price alone does not show what you keep.
For an ordinary taxable Michigan sale, the state real-estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property’s value at sale, or part of $500. County tax is generally another $0.55 for each $500, or part of $500. At that county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, $860 total. State and county exemptions are separate, so check the actual county, sale value, and any exemption. Michigan law generally makes the seller responsible for these taxes; see the Michigan state real-estate transfer-tax law and county real-estate transfer-tax law.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
