June 26th, 2008 — Property Tax Millage
The Road Commission is seeking a .5 mill tax — or 50 cents per $1,000 of taxable personal property — for each year from 2009-2014.
Road Commission Director Kent Rubley estimates the millage could bring in $4.4 million. He said $1 million would go to the cities, which are not under road commission jurisdiction, and another $1 million would be controlled by township officials for local road resurfacing.
April 2nd, 2008 — Property Tax Millage
The property tax request has received overwhelming support from voters in the past. In August 2006 voters approved the request by a 1,449 vote margin; 3,035 yes to 1,586 no.
The .5-mill, two year request will raise an estimated $998,300.80 in 2008 for Road Commission’s coffers if approved by county voters at the August 5 Primary Election.
