The People's Proposed Tax System

An Implementation Roadmap for Property Tax Elimination in Michigan

Version 3.0 — March 2026

The following proposal was written and posted on FaceBook by a Muskegon County Resident, Trevor Lawrence. It is an excellant and detailed road-map on how we can reduce and eventually phase out property taxes for Michigan home owners without sacrificing necessary services.

What we're going to do. How we're going to do it.

Where the money comes from. Where the money goes.

Year by year. Dollar by dollar. No hand-waving.

Every number sourced from state and federal government records.

This document is public domain. Copy it. Share it. Bring it to Lansing.

• SECTION 1: WHAT WE'RE DOING

This proposal eliminates property taxes for Michigan seniors aged 65 and older, locks property tax rates for working-age homeowners so improvements never raise your bill, and phases out remaining residential property tax over 10 years using revenue that already exists.

No new taxes on working people. No cuts to school funding. No hand-waving about "finding efficiencies." Every dollar is traced from where it is now to where it goes under this plan.

The Three Moves

Move 1: Immediate full property tax elimination for qualifying seniors (age 65+, owner-occupied, 10+ years).

Move 2: Flat-rate assessment lock for all homeowners — your tax is based on what you paid for the house, period. Improvements never raise it. No annual reassessment.

Move 3: Creation of the Property Tax Replacement Fund (PTRF) to ratchet down remaining residential millage rates to zero over 10 years, funded by redirecting existing vice tax revenue and replacing the State Education Tax with a luxury services sales tax.

The rest of this document proves, with sourced math, that every single one of these moves is fully funded with money that already exists in the system.

• SECTION 2: WHERE THE MONEY IS RIGHT NOW

Before you can move money, you have to know where it sits. Here is every relevant revenue stream in Michigan, what it generates, and where it currently goes. Every number is from a state or federal agency.

The School Aid Fund — $19.1 Billion (FY 2025-26 Estimate)

The School Aid Fund is the single largest pool of education money in Michigan. Understanding what feeds it is critical because the biggest objection to property tax reform is always "but the schools." Here's exactly where the SAF gets its money:

Source	Annual Amount	% of SAF	Tied to Property?
Sales & use tax (73.3% of 6% rate)	$8,787M	~46%	No
Individual income tax (~25% of gross)	$4,232M	~22%	No
State Education Tax (6-mill property tax)	$2,800M	~15%	YES
Lottery profits	$1,200M	~6%	No
Casino/gaming/sports betting	$501M	~3%	No
Real estate transfer tax	$398M	~2%	Sale-related
Tobacco taxes (~41.4% of cigarette tax)	~$350M	~2%	No
Cannabis excise (35% to SAF)	$116M	<1%	No
Federal revenue + other	~$700M+	~4%	No
TOTAL SAF	~$19.1B	100%

Source: Michigan.gov/budget SAF FAQ; House Fiscal Agency FY 2025-26 Appropriations Summary; Senate Fiscal Agency Economic Outlook January 2026; Michigan House Revenue Source & Distribution December 2024

The critical number: Only 15% of the School Aid Fund comes from property tax (the SET). The other 85% comes from sales tax, income tax, lottery, gaming, tobacco, and federal funds. Property tax is not the backbone of school funding. Sales tax is. Anyone who tells you eliminating property tax destroys school funding either hasn't read these numbers or is counting on you not to.

Total Statewide Property Tax — $18.77 Billion (2023)

Component	Amount	Destination
Local school operating millages (18 mills non-homestead)	~$4.5B	Local school districts
State Education Tax (6 mills all property)	$2.5-2.8B	School Aid Fund

City/township operating millages	~$3.5B	City/township services
Voted millages (bonds, sinking funds, libraries, etc.)	~$4.0B	Various local

Vice Tax Revenue — The Money Nobody Is Using Correctly

Cannabis: $331 Million (FY 2024)

10% excise tax on adult-use marijuana. $1.7 billion collected cumulatively since December 2019. Revenue has grown every single year since legalization. Currently split: $116M to schools, $116M to roads, ~$100M to municipalities/counties/tribes.

Source: Michigan Dept of Treasury, February 2025; Michigan Cannabis Industry Association

Muskegon County alone received $1,572,173.82 from cannabis in FY 2024. The City of Muskegon received $698,743.92 (12 licenses). Muskegon Heights received $174,685.98 (3 licenses). Muskegon Township received $407,600.62 (7 licenses).

Gaming & Sports Betting: ~$570 Million in State Taxes (2024)

iGaming state taxes: $451.4M. Internet sports betting: $14.7M. Detroit retail casino taxes: $104.3M. Total iGaming gross receipts hit $2.4B in 2024, up 26.3% year-over-year. Gaming contributed $501.4M to the School Aid Fund in 2024.

Source: Michigan Gaming Control Board, January 2025; SBC Americas

Lottery: $1.2 Billion to Schools (FY 2024)

Sixth consecutive year exceeding $1 billion. 100% of profits go to the School Aid Fund by law. $30 billion contributed since 1972. But as Bridge Michigan reported, the Legislature can redirect equivalent dollars elsewhere once lottery money arrives in the SAF — meaning the $1.2B doesn't necessarily result in $1.2B more for classrooms.

Alcohol: Estimated $250-350 Million

Beer excise: $0.20/gallon (hasn't changed in decades). Wine excise: $0.51/gallon. Spirits: $11.90/gallon (9th highest nationally). Michigan is a control state — the government profits directly from liquor sales. All alcohol also subject to 6% sales tax.

Tobacco: ~$850 Million Total (est.)

$2.00/pack cigarette tax (11th highest nationally). 41.4% of cigarette tax goes to SAF, 31.6% to Medicaid Trust Fund, ~19% to General Fund. Other tobacco products taxed at 32%.

• SECTION 3: WHERE THE MONEY GOES — DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR

This is the part that matters. Every dollar currently flowing through the system is accounted for. Nothing is hand-waved. Nothing relies on "finding efficiencies."

Move 1: Senior Exemption — Cost and Funding

The Cost

Michigan population age 65+: approximately 1.83 million (18.2% of 10.05M).

Michigan homeownership rate: 72.9%.

Estimated senior homeowners: approximately 1.33 million.

After applying the 10-year continuous ownership requirement (filtering out recent buyers and renters): estimated qualifying seniors: 900,000 to 1,000,000.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2019-2023; Point2Homes Michigan Demographics

At a statewide average property tax of ~$1,800/year for senior homesteads: 950,000 x $1,800 = $1.71 billion per year.

At a higher estimate of $2,200/year: 950,000 x $2,200 = $2.09 billion per year.

Conservative cost estimate: $1.7 to $2.1 billion annually.

Where It Comes From

The State Education Tax generates $2.5-2.8 billion per year. Under this plan (and consistent with House Speaker Hall's February 2026 proposal), the SET is eliminated entirely. That means every property owner — including seniors — immediately stops paying 6 mills.

The SET revenue is replaced by a 6% sales tax on luxury and discretionary services. Speaker Hall's office estimated this would generate $4.7 billion annually. His proposal results in a net $270 million tax reduction after making schools and local governments whole.

Source: Detroit News, Crain's Detroit, Crain's Grand Rapids, Bridge Michigan, WLNS — February/March 2026

Here's the math on the senior exemption specifically:

Line Item	Amount
SET elimination saves average homeowner	$900/year (per Hall estimate)
SET revenue replaced by luxury services tax	$4,700M (per Hall estimate)
SET revenue being replaced	$2,800M
Surplus from luxury services tax over SET	$1,900M
Cost of full senior exemption (remaining mills after SET)	$850M - $1,200M
Surplus after senior exemption fully funded	$700M - $1,050M

Read that again. After eliminating the SET and replacing it with a luxury services tax, the surplus alone more than covers a full property tax exemption for every qualifying senior in Michigan. The leftover $700M-$1.05B feeds directly into the PTRF for Move 3.

To be clear about what this means:

•       Schools receive the exact same funding — the $2.8B from the SET is replaced dollar-for-dollar by the luxury services tax.

•       The luxury services tax falls on country club memberships, private jets, marinas, AI consulting, political ads, golf, skiing, limousines, and similar discretionary spending — not on groceries, rent, haircuts, or anything a working family touches daily.

•       Seniors stop paying ALL property tax. Not a credit. Not a partial exemption. Zero.

•       The remaining surplus funds the phase-out for everyone else.

What happens to the senior's tax bill — example

A 68-year-old in Muskegon County who has owned their home for 20 years, current property tax bill of $1,670/year:

	Amount
Current annual property tax bill	$1,670
Under this plan	$0
Annual savings	$1,670/year
Savings over 20-year retirement	$33,400

Move 2: Flat-Rate Assessment Lock

This move costs nothing in revenue. It changes how the tax is calculated, not how much is collected in aggregate.

Currently, Michigan assessors reassess your property annually. If your neighborhood's values go up or you improve your house, your taxable value creeps up (capped at 5% or CPI under Proposal A, but it still creeps). If you sell, the taxable value "pops up" to the full State Equalized Value.

Under this plan:

•       Your property tax is calculated as a fixed percentage of the price you paid when you bought the house.

•       It never changes for as long as you own it. No annual reassessment. No creep. No pop-up.

•       You remodel your kitchen — tax stays the same. You add a deck — tax stays the same. You put on new siding — tax stays the same.

•       When you sell, the new buyer's tax is calculated on their purchase price. Clean reset.

This is Proposal A's taxable value cap taken to its logical conclusion. Proposal A capped the annual increase but still allowed creep and still had the pop-up. This eliminates both.

Speaker Hall's proposal also eliminates the pop-up tax. This goes one step further by locking the rate entirely, removing the improvement penalty that causes situations like the Hesperia homeowner who stripped his siding down to tar paper because the assessor punished him for remodeling.

Revenue impact: Net neutral in aggregate. Individual bills become more predictable. The total tax base shifts slightly over time as properties turn over at higher sale prices, which naturally grows revenue without reassessing existing owners.

Move 3: The Property Tax Replacement Fund (PTRF) — Phase to Zero

This is the ratchet mechanism that takes the remaining residential property tax to zero over 10 years. It's funded by the surplus from Move 1 plus redirected vice tax revenue.

PTRF Revenue Sources — Year 1

Source	Amount	Currently Goes To
Surplus from luxury services tax (after SET replacement + senior exemption)	$700M-$1,050M	New — surplus
Cannabis excise — municipal share redirected to PTRF	$100M	Municipalities (replaced by PTRF benefit)
Cannabis excise — portion of school/road share	$50M	SAF/Transportation (offset by luxury tax surplus)
25% of state gaming tax	$142M	SAF (offset by luxury tax surplus)
TOTAL PTRF YEAR 1	$992M - $1,342M

That's nearly $1 billion to $1.3 billion in Year 1 alone, flowing directly into residential millage reduction.

Schools are held harmless because the luxury services tax generates $1.9B more than the SET it replaces, and the cannabis/gaming redirections are offset by this surplus. The SAF actually gains net revenue under this plan because the luxury services tax is larger than the SET.

10-Year Phase-Out Schedule

Assumptions: cannabis revenue grows 8%/year (consistent with 2021-2024 trend), gaming grows 5%/year, luxury services tax stable, PTRF compounds. Property tax baseline $18.77B growing 4%/year. Residential homestead portion approximately $7-8B of total.

Year	PTRF Revenue	Cumulative Invested	Remaining Homestead Tax	% Reduction
1	$1.0B	$1.0B	~$7.0B	~13%
2	$1.1B	$2.1B	~$6.2B	~22%
3	$1.25B	$3.35B	~$5.3B	~33%
4	$1.35B	$4.7B	~$4.3B	~43%
5	$1.5B	$6.2B	~$3.2B	~55%
6	$1.6B	$7.8B	~$2.2B	~66%
7	$1.75B	$9.55B	~$1.2B	~78%
8	$1.9B	$11.45B	~$0.4B	~93%

9	$2.0B	$13.45B	~$0	~98%
10	$2.1B	$15.55B	$0	100%

By Year 10, residential homestead property tax in Michigan is zero.

Non-homestead property (rentals, commercial, industrial, vacation homes) continues to pay, but transitions to a Land Value Tax model where only the land is taxed, not improvements. This encourages development, eliminates vacant lot speculation, and is endorsed by economists from Henry George to Milton Friedman.

• SECTION 4: WHAT THIS MEANS FOR A MUSKEGON COUNTY HOMEOWNER

Current: Muskegon County median property tax is $1,670/year. Ranked 654th out of 3,143 US counties. Muskegon Heights millage: 22.74 mills. City of Muskegon: 12.26 mills. Both add 1% income tax on top.

Source: Tax-Rates.org; Norton Shores Finance Dept

Scenario	Current Bill	Under This Plan	You Keep
Year 1 (SET eliminated)	$1,670	~$770	$900/year
Year 3	$1,670	~$500	$1,170/year
Year 5	$1,670	~$250	$1,420/year
Year 8	$1,670	~$50	$1,620/year
Year 10	$1,670	$0	$1,670/year
Senior (65+, 10yr owner)	$1,670	$0 (Day 1)	$1,670/year immediately
Home improvement (any year)	Increase	No change	Your investment stays yours

Over 10 years, a Muskegon County homeowner at the median keeps approximately $10,000+ that would have gone to property tax. A qualifying senior keeps $1,670/year from Day 1 — potentially $33,400+ over a 20-year retirement. They never risk losing the home they spent 30 years paying off.

• SECTION 5: HOW WE GET THIS DONE

The Legislative Path

House Speaker Matt Hall has already proposed the core of Move 1 (SET elimination + luxury services tax). Governor Whitmer has proposed senior relief. Senator Anthony has proposed homestead credit expansion. The components exist across party lines. What's missing is a single unified framework that combines them. This document is that framework.

The legislative path requires:

1.     A bill eliminating the SET and replacing it with a 6% luxury services sales tax (Hall's proposal, already in development)

2.     An amendment adding the full senior exemption, funded by the surplus from #1

3.     An amendment creating the PTRF as a constitutionally protected fund that cannot be raided

4.     An amendment codifying the flat-rate assessment lock

5.     An amendment eliminating the pop-up tax (already in Hall's proposal)

The Ballot Initiative Path

If the Legislature doesn't act, Michigan citizens can do it themselves. Article II, Section 9 of the Michigan Constitution allows citizen-initiated legislation and constitutional amendments.

For a constitutional amendment:

•       Collect signatures equal to 10% of votes cast in the last gubernatorial election (approximately 446,000 signatures)

•       Submit to the Board of State Canvassers for certification

•       Placed on the next general election ballot

•       Simple majority of voters approves

This is the same mechanism that legalized recreational cannabis (Proposal 1, 2018), restructured property taxes and school funding (Proposal A, 1994), and created independent redistricting (Proposal 2, 2018). It works. It's been done. A citizen group already launched a property tax repeal petition in 2024.

Timeline

When	What Happens
2026	Legislative session: Push unified framework through House and Senate. Hall's proposal is already in play.
2026 Fall	If legislative path stalls, launch ballot petition. Begin collecting 446,000 signatures.
2027	Petition submitted. Certified. Placed on November ballot.
2028 Jan 1	If passed: SET eliminated. Luxury services tax takes effect. Senior exemption begins. PTRF created.
2028-2037	PTRF ratchets down residential millage annually. By 2037, residential homestead property tax is zero.

• SECTION 6: ACCOUNTABILITY — MAKING SURE THE MONEY GOES WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO

The best-designed tax system in the world is useless if the people managing the money are the same people who ran Muskegon Heights into the ground. This section exists because without it, nothing else matters.

Current System (and Why It Fails)

•       Every Michigan city is required by law to have an annual audit by a qualified independent auditor. But the city itself selects and pays the auditor. The people being audited choose who audits them.

•       The Michigan Department of Treasury's Local Audit and Finance Division reviews audit reports and monitors financial distress. But their intervention threshold is high — they step in after the damage is done, not before.

•       When officials mismanage funds, the consequence is termination. There is no personal financial liability unless outright theft is proven. Troy Bell signed an unauthorized contract in Muskegon Heights, paid himself an unauthorized rate, got fired — and Belding hired him as interim city manager.

•       Muskegon Heights operated without a finance director, assessor, city attorney, or HR department after Bell's firing. An outside firm spent months reconciling the books.

Source: WOOD TV; WGVU; Fox 17; Daily News (Greenville) December 2025

What This Plan Requires

1.     PTRF Oversight Board: Elected by Michigan voters (not appointed by the governor or legislature). Five members, staggered terms. Subpoena power. Sole authority over PTRF disbursements.

2.     Mandatory independent audit rotation: No municipality can use the same audit firm for more than 3 consecutive years. Auditors are selected from a state-approved pool by lottery, not by the city being audited.

3.     Real-time public dashboard: Every dollar into and out of the PTRF visible online. Every municipality's millage reduction tracked. Every abatement listed with the developer's name, the promised deliverables, and the actual deliverables.

4.     Personal financial liability: City officials who enter unauthorized contracts, divert restricted funds, or operate without a passed budget are personally liable for the dollar amounts involved. Not just fired. Liable.

5.     5-year municipal employment ban: Any city manager, finance director, or equivalent terminated for cause is barred from holding a similar position in any Michigan municipality for 5 years. No more Troy Bell musical chairs.

6.     Abatement clawbacks: Any tax abatement that doesn't deliver its promised jobs, investment, or community access is revoked retroactively. The developer pays back the full abated amount plus interest.

•  SECTION 7: EVERY OBJECTION, PRE-ANSWERED

"Who will fund the schools?"

The same sources that already fund 85% of them. The School Aid Fund receives $19.1 billion annually. The SET contributes $2.8 billion of that — about 15%. The other 85% comes from sales tax ($8.8B), income tax ($4.2B), lottery ($1.2B), gaming ($501M), tobacco, cannabis, and federal funds. Under this plan, the SET is replaced dollar-for-dollar by a luxury services tax that actually generates MORE than the SET. Schools gain net revenue.

Source: Michigan.gov/budget SAF FAQ; House Fiscal Agency FY 2025-26 Summary

"Property tax is the most stable revenue source."

Stable for the government. Devastating for the homeowner. The stability comes from the fact that they always know where your house is. You can't move it. You can't hide it. That's not a feature of good policy design — that's a feature of coercion. Michigan's total state tax collections hit $41.5 billion in FY 2024. The state is not short on revenue. It's short on accountability.

Source: Michigan.gov/budget — FY2024 total state tax collections

"Seniors should downsize instead of getting a break."

Downsizing triggers the pop-up tax. A senior who sells a paid-off $150K home and buys a smaller $120K home gets their taxable value reset to the full SEV. Their effective tax rate goes UP. The current system traps them. This plan eliminates the pop-up (consistent with Hall's proposal) AND exempts them entirely.

"This is too big to pass."

Proposal A (1994) restructured the entire school funding system, created the SET, the taxable value cap, and the PRE in a single ballot initiative. Michigan voters understood it and passed it. House Speaker Hall is currently proposing a $4.9 billion tax overhaul. Governor Whitmer is proposing senior relief. This plan is the synthesis of what both sides already want. It's not too big. It's too obvious.

"The cannabis/gaming revenue might decline."

Cannabis revenue has grown every single year since legalization. Gaming hit record highs in 2024 with 22.3% year-over-year growth. Even if growth slowed to zero, the PTRF ratchet mechanism means millage rates stop decreasing — they don't go back up. The senior exemption is funded by structural reallocation (luxury services tax surplus), not by growth projections.

"This is a partisan proposal."

The SET elimination was proposed by a Republican House Speaker. The senior relief was proposed by a Democratic Governor. The homestead credit expansion was proposed by a Democratic Senator. The cannabis legalization that generates $331M/year was passed by Michigan voters. The gaming that generates $570M/year was legalized on a bipartisan basis. This proposal takes all of their ideas and puts them in one document with the math done. Nobody owns this. The numbers own this.
