The question on your ballot
Shall the Township of Dalton be authorized to levy a millage on taxable property in the Township in the years 2027-2036, both inclusive, that would increase the Township of Dalton tax rate limitation imposed under Article IX, Sec. 6 of the Michigan Constitution by the amount of 0.7109 mill ($0.7109 per $1,000 of taxable value), subject to reduction as provided by law, which is a renewal of the previously authorized millage. The purpose of this renewed millage levy is to continue to provide funds for purchasing fire apparatus, equipment and upgrades to the fire station of the Dalton Township Fire Department. It is estimated that a levy of 0.7109 mill would provide revenue of $253,914 in the first calendar year. The revenue from this millage levy will be disbursed to the Township of Dalton.
