In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Shiawassee County voters are asked to renew a senior citizen services millage of up to 0.4942 mills ($0.4942 per $1,000 of taxable value) for five years, 2026 through 2030 inclusive. The earlier 0.5000 mill increase has expired and was reduced to 0.4942 mills by required rollbacks. The money would fund senior citizen services within the county, and some may go to local downtown and brownfield authorities. If approved and levied in full, the millage is estimated to raise $1,370,677 in the first calendar year of the levy. A YES vote renews the millage; a NO vote means it is not renewed.
