ELECTION FOR MILLAGE RENEWAL
1.00 for the fire fund, 1.00 mill for General
services, and 2.00 mills for the general fund, the amount of tax will be
$158.85. This would be and increase
of $1.21 in the taxes you pay to the township. With the cuts to revenue sharing and PILT monies
that the State is imposing upon townships, we stand to lose $10,000 in
revenue. This will have a severe
impact on our township. The proposed millage renewals are needed in
order for the township to continue with the services that we are able to
provide. We are trying to be able
to provide more to the residents/taxpayers, but with limited revenue it is
extremely difficult. On
August 4 there will be an election to renew the three millages that expired
on December 31, 2008. The millages
are for the general fund, general services and the fire fund. The services that are supported by these
millages are garbage pickup, dust control, streetlights, cemetery services,
and fire department services among others. The millage rates that were collected in 2008
were .9924 for general services, .9924 for fire department services and
1.9848 for the general fund. The
renewal rates would be 1.00 mill for the fire fund, 1.00 mill for general
services, and 2.00 mills for the general fund.
What this would mean to the amount of taxes you
pay: For example, if your taxable
value is $39,712, the current tax you pay to the township is $157.64 for
the total of 3.9696 mills. With the
renewal of the millages back to
