Taylor School District — Operating Millage Replacement Proposal (Wayne County)

What it does

This proposal, if approved by the electors, would, replace, restore and extend the authority of the School District to levy the statutory limit of 18 mills on all property, except principal residences and other property exempted by law, which currently expires with the School District’s 2027 tax levy and allow the School District to continue to levy the statutory limit of 18 mills in the event of future Headlee rollbacks required by the Michigan Constitution of up to 2 mills. The authorization will allow the School District to continue to receive revenues at the full per pupil foundation allowance permitted by the State. Shall the limitation on the total amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residences and other property exempted by law, situated within the Taylor School District, County of Wayne, State of Michigan, be increased, in the amount of 20 mills with 18 mills being the maximum allowable levy ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation), for a period of ten (10) years, 2026 to 2035, inclusive, with 17.5603 mills of the above 20 mills being a replacement of authorized millage which will otherwise expire with the 2027 tax levy and 0.4397 mills being a restoration of previously authorized millage lost as a result of the rollbacks required by the Michigan Constitution? This operating millage if approved and levied, would provide estimated revenues to the School District of $420,661 during the 2026 calendar year, to be used for general operating purposes.

A YES vote means

Taylor School District could levy up to 18 mills on property other than primary homes for ten years, 2026 to 2035, replacing millage that expires with the 2027 levy and restoring 0.4397 mills, raising about $420,661 in 2026.

A NO vote means

Taylor School District's operating millage would not be replaced and extended, and would still expire with the 2027 levy.
