Beverly Hills property tax: where it goes
A Beverly Hills house pays 5.238% of its taxable value before the exemption (3.882% with it) in property tax. For a house at $192,130 of taxable value with the homestead exemption, that's about $7,458 a year.
Tax is levied on taxable value (mills are dollars per $1,000 of taxable value); taxable value rises each year by the rate of inflation or 5%, whichever is lower, but a transfer of ownership or improvements can raise it more.
Southfield Township has published its 2026 summer and Village rates, but the 2026 winter rates (township, county parks, transit, zoo, art institute and the winter half of the Birmingham schools levies) come out with the December 2026 bill, so the 2025 winter rates are used for that part.
