Local proposals & millages (2)

Howell Public Schools Operating Millage Renewal Proposal

Millage Renewal with Increase18 mills11 years (2028–2038)

YESA YES vote continues the existing levy of 18 mills for 11 years — generally no increase over what you pay now, plus the restored or added amount described.

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. The remaining .4411 mill is only available to be levied to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will only be levied to the extent necessary to restore that reduction. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Howell Public Schools, Livingston County, Michigan, be renewed by 18.4411 mills ($18.4411 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 11 years, 2028 to 2038, 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 2028 is approximately $21,695,017 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2027 tax levy)?

Howell Public Schools Operating Millage Proposal

Millage Restoration (Headlee Override)18 mills11 years (2028–2038)est. $24,106/yr

YESA YES vote raises the levy back to the originally authorized 18 mills, overriding the Headlee Amendment rollback — this is a tax increase over the current rate.

NOA NO vote keeps the current, rolled-back rate in place.

Official ballot language

This proposal will allow the school district 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. Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Howell Public Schools, Livingston County, Michigan, be increased by .6084 mill ($0.6084 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 11 years, 2028 to 2038, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2028 is approximately $24,106 (this millage is to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will be levied only to the extent necessary to restore that reduction)?
