Michigan Weight-Distance Tax
Michigan charges no state weight-distance or highway-use tax. Only Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Connecticut do, and Michigan is not one of them. You still owe IFTA fuel tax, which the Michigan Department of Treasury administers, and IRP apportioned registration, which runs through the Michigan Department of State. At 55,000 lb and up you also owe the federal Form 2290 HVUT, same as every state. There is no additional per-mile permit or decal to buy before you run Michigan roads.

IFTA and registration still apply
Every state, including Michigan, still reaches you through the IFTA fuel tax (reconciled by the fuel you burn) and IRP apportioned registration (your plate). The only states that add a per-mile weight-distance or highway-use tax on top are Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Connecticut.
