Grand Island Township Proposal to Renew Township Operating Tax Levy

Millage Renewal with Increase2 mills4 years (2027–2030)est. $13,104/yr

Shall the Grand Island Township operating millage approved by the voters in 2022 be renewed at the same rate of up to 2.0000 mill ($2.00 per $1,000 of taxable value), and be levied for four (4) years (2027-2030) inclusive, for general operating purposes? If approved and levied in full, this millage will raise an estimated additional $13,104.00 for general Township operating purposes in the first calendar year of the levy based on state taxable valuation.

YESA YES vote renews the levy at up to 2 mills for 4 years. The ballot language also restores or raises the rate, so you may pay more than you do now; the official language gives the exact amount.

NOA NO vote rejects the renewal and any increase. A current levy, if there is one, continues only until its scheduled expiration.
