Local proposals & millages (1)

Clinton Community Schools Operating Millage Renewal Proposal

Millage Renewal18 mills6 years (2027–2032)

YESA YES vote continues the existing levy of 18 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 school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance and renews millage that will expire with the 2026 tax levy. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of 18.487 mills ($18.487 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Clinton Community Schools, Lenawee and Washtenaw Counties, Michigan, be renewed for a period of 6 years, 2027 to 2032, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2027 is approximately $1,580,000 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2026 tax levy)?
