County Veterans Services Millage Renewal
Tuscola County · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Shall the previously approved millage authorization in support of Tuscola County Veterans Services, reduced by the required millage rollbacks and which will expire in December, 2026, be renewed and the County of Tuscola, Michigan, be authorized to levy a millage of 0.1697 mill ($0.1697 per $1,000 of State Taxable Value) annually, for a period of six (6) years, 2027-2032 inclusive, on all taxable property within in Tuscola County to provide dedicated services and programs to veterans of the United States military and their qualified dependents within the county ("Veterans Services")? The estimated revenue the County will collect in the first year of levy (2027) if the millage is approved is approximately $406,500. (This is a reauthorization and six-year extension of a millage levied in 2026, that will expire with the 2026 tax levy, rather than an increase.) To the extent required by law, a portion of the revenues collected from this millage (estimated to be approximately 0.6% in the first year), will be captured by or disbursed to the Caro Downtown Development Authority ("DDA"), Cass City DDA, Millington DDA and Vassar DDA.
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Tuscola County voters are asked to renew a veterans services millage of 0.1697 mill ($0.1697 per $1,000 of State Taxable Value) for six years, 2027 through 2032 inclusive. The money would fund veterans services and programs in the county. The wording says the earlier millage expires with the 2026 tax levy and that this is a renewal, not an increase. The estimated 2027 revenue is approximately $406,500. About 0.6% may be captured by or disbursed to the Caro DDA, Cass City DDA, Millington DDA and Vassar DDA, as required by law. A YES vote renews the millage; a NO vote means it is not renewed.
