Routine Operational Millage & Recurring Technology and Transportation Bond Proposals
Special Election May 2, 2023
KEY FACTS
The millage proposal is a renewal of millage that Leland voters have approved/renewed annually for many years. It isn’t a new millage or a tax increase.
The millage is only levied on non-exempt, non-homestead property (commercial property, business, second homes, rental property).
Homestead property (primary homes) are exempt. Most voters probably haven’t paid the operating millage and won’t pay it in the future.
Levying 10.9013 mills is required for the district to receive full State funding.
If the millage isn’t renewed, the district would lose more than $4.5 million in operating funding for 2023-24, and each year thereafter unless and until the voters approve a renewal.
