Property taxes in Genesee County
Flint's city council set a 2026 operating millage of 18.9622 mills under Resolution 260184, per the city's FY2027 budget documents. Michigan's constitution and MCL 211.27a cap taxable value at the state equalized value, half of true cash value at a sale, so a $2,000,000 Flint apartment sale would land near a $1,000,000 taxable value and about $18,962 a year in city operating tax alone, before county, school and state education millages. State and county transfer tax together run $4.30 per $500 of value, or about $17,200 on that sale, a cost worth modeling before anyone decides to sell commercial real estate in Flint, MI.
Landlord rules in Flint
Michigan caps security deposits at 1.5 times monthly rent under MCL 554.602, and Flint landlords must return deposits or itemize damages within 30 days under MCL 554.609. Nonpayment notices need 7 days under MCL 554.134, and month-to-month tenancies end on one month's notice under the same section. Flint also runs a Comprehensive Rental Inspection Code under Ordinance 200304, requiring landlords to register units and pass inspection roughly every three years. State law bars local rent control under MCL 123.411, so Flint itself sets no rent caps.
What this means for a Flint owner
Flint pairs a renter-majority population with General Motors' investment in Flint Assembly, two major hospital systems, and the University of Michigan-Flint's growing enrollment. An owner ready to sell commercial property in Flint, MI should price the rental inspection cycle and the city's tax reset before they sell your apartment building in Flint. Our cap rate calculator and seller page explain how we underwrite Flint buildings.

Flint Seller FAQ
Is now a good time to sell commercial property in Flint, MI?
Flint's 46.2% renter share and $915 median gross rent, ACS 2020-2024, point to steady renter demand, and General Motors continues investing in Flint Assembly. Owners who plan to sell multifamily property in Flint should still price the rental inspection cycle and tax reset first.
What should I know before I sell commercial real estate in Flint, MI?
Flint's 9.2% share of housing in 5+ unit buildings sits below Genesee County's 11.9% baseline, and the city's 18.9622-mill operating rate resets at closing under MCL 211.27a. Our cap rate calculator and seller page model both before an owner lists a Flint building.
What is the average rent in Flint, Michigan?
Census ACS 2020-2024 estimates put Flint's median gross rent at $915 a month, below Genesee County's $989. HUD's FY2027 fair market rents for Genesee County run from $792 for an efficiency to $1,133 for a two-bedroom, both above Flint's citywide median gross rent figure.
What is the property tax rate on apartment buildings in Flint?
Flint's city council set an 18.9622-mill operating rate for 2026, per city budget documents. Taxable value resets to half of true cash value at a sale, so a $2,000,000 building would owe about $18,962 in city tax alone, before other millages.
Does Flint, Michigan have rent control?
No. Michigan's Act 226 of 1988, MCL 123.411, bars any local government from enacting or enforcing rent control ordinances. Flint leases, security deposits and eviction notices instead follow statewide landlord-tenant law, a point worth knowing before selling commercial property in Flint changes hands.

Can I sell my Flint apartment building off-market?
Yes. We work directly with owners and through listing agents. Off-market conversations are confidential, and we coordinate tours so tenants and staff are not disrupted.
Can I sell rental property in Flint with tenants in place?
Yes. We buy apartment buildings with tenants in place and keep existing leases intact. As a commercial real estate buyer focused on 5+ unit properties, we underwrite the current rent roll as it stands.

Most owners get clear feedback within 48 hours of sending the address, unit count, and a rent roll. Closing is typically set around your timeline, including extra time for a 1031 exchange.
