Purpose and Functions
The purpose of the Treasurer's office is to provide accurate and timely billing for City services, to collect local property taxes and fees, to receive and post all payments due to the City, and the proper investment of funds to meet the needs of the City and its residents. Upon receipt, we also distribute allocations of collected taxes as required by law to the various state and local governmental agencies and the local school district.

2023 Summer Tax Millage Rates
Primary Residence Exemption (PRE) - 36.4087
NON PRE - 54.4087
2023 Winter Tax Millage Rate: 14.1173 for all
Taxable Rate Increase
The inflationary rate has caused the taxable values to increase by 5% across the state of Michigan. This is similar to the same increase as last year. This is a statewide increase by the State of Michigan tax laws, and is an annual increase. The city of Rockwood has to abide by state laws.
If your tax value increased more than 5% it could be due to the following:
- Updating records for accuracy purposes and for the upcoming State audit in 2025.
- Taxable value of your home becoming uncapped due to transfer.
