Akron Township sample ballot, Tuscola County: November 3, 2026

Shall the previously approved millage authorization in support of Tuscola County Veterans Services, reduced by the required millage rollbacks and which will expire in December, 2026, be renewed and the County of Tuscola, Michigan, be authorized to levy a millage of 0.1697 mill ($0.1697 per $1,000 of State Taxable Value) annually, for a period of six (6) years, 2027-2032 inclusive, on all taxable property within in Tuscola County to provide dedicated services and programs to veterans of the United States military and their qualified dependents within the county (“Veterans Services”)? The estimated revenue the County will collect in the first year of levy (2027) if the millage is approved is approximately $406,500. (This is a reauthorization and six-year extension of a millage levied in 2026, that will expire with the 2026 tax levy, rather than an increase.) To the extent required by law, a portion of the revenues collected from this millage (estimated to be approximately 0.6% in the first year), will be captured by or disbursed to the Caro Downtown Development Authority (“DDA”), Cass City DDA, Millington DDA and Vassar DDA.

The estimated revenue the County will collect in the first year of levy (2027) if the millage is approved is approximately $72,575.
