Millage Renewal0.6231 mills6 years (2027–2032)

YESA YES vote continues the existing levy of 0.6231 mills for 6 years — generally no increase over what you pay now.

NOA NO vote lets the current millage expire; the service it funds would need cuts or other revenue.

Official ballot language

This proposal will allow the intermediate school district to continue to levy special education millage previously approved by the electors. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of 0.6231 mill ($0.6231 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in Cheboygan-Otsego-Presque Isle Educational Service District, Michigan, to provide funds for the education of students with a disability, be renewed for a period of 6 years, 2027 to 2032, inclusive; the estimate of the revenue the intermediate school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2027 is approximately $2,992,734 from local property taxes authorized herein (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2026 tax levy)?
