How to research non-homestead taxes

[Emilio Basa]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to start purchasing some rental properties in the coming up months. The price hike between homestead and non-homestead taxes can be quite huge in some areas of Michigan. I'm running the numbers on some potential rentals and would like to know how to find out what the taxes will be city by city? 

I'm assuming call the city? What department do I ask for and what information do I need?
