Hemlock Public School District · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
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 and renews millage that will expire with the 2026 tax levy. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of 18.0614 mills ($18.0614 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Hemlock Public School District, Saginaw and Midland Counties, Michigan, be renewed for a period of 4 years, 2027 to 2030, 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 2027 is approximately $3,108,320 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2026 tax levy)?

A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Hemlock Public School District voters in Saginaw and Midland Counties are asked to renew the operating millage of 18.0614 mills ($18.0614 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for four years, 2027 through 2030 inclusive. The wording says the current millage expires with the 2026 tax levy. The money would fund operating purposes. Principal residences and other property exempted by law are excluded. The estimated revenue, if 18 mills are levied in 2027, is approximately $3,108,320. A YES vote renews the millage; a NO vote means it is not renewed.
