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)?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Hemlock Public School District in Saginaw and Midland Counties asks voters to renew its operating millage. The wording says the district needs the statutory rate of up to 18 mills on property other than principal residences to receive its per pupil foundation allowance. The renewal would set a limit of 18.0614 mills for 4 years, 2027 to 2030, to fund operating purposes. It estimates about $3,108,320 in revenue if 18 mills are levied in 2027. A YES vote approves the renewal. A NO vote means the millage is not renewed.
