THE OPPORTUNITY
What Is the Det PILOT Program?
Launched by the City of Detroit in June 2025, the PILOT (Payment In Lieu Of Taxes) program is designed to incentivize investment in Affordable Multifamily housing. Eligible property owners can replace their traditional property tax bill with a significantly lower service charge — saving up to 80% annually.
Up to 80% Tax Reduction
The PILOT program replaces traditional property tax with a service charge that can be up to 80% lower than what you're currently paying.
Locked In for 15 Years
Once approved, your reduced rate is secured for 15 years — and can be renewed for an additional 15. That's up to 30 years of predictable, lower costs.
Built for Multifamily Owners
The program is specifically designed for Detroit multifamily properties with 6 or more units. If you own apartments in Detroit, this was made for you.
Rolling Applications First Come, First Served
There's no formal deadline, but only 1,500 units are approved per year. Once the cap is hit, you wait until next year. Early applicants have the advantage.
DO YOU QUALIFY?
Eligibility Is Simpler Than You Think

Property must be multifamily with 6 or more units
Located within the City of Detroit
Tenant wages may not exceed 125% of Area Median Income (Detroit AMI: ~$70k) — most Detroit MF tenants qualify
Capital improvements required: $5,000 per unit (occupied) or $15,000 per unit (vacant)
Property owner must be in good standing with the City
