Non-Homestead Renewal: May 4, 2027
What Taxpayers Should Know About the Non-Homestead Operating Millage:
- All Michigan school districts must levy 18 mills on non-homestead property to receive their full foundation allowance – the major source of funding for Michigan schools.
- The 18-mill levy costs the primary residence homeowner zero dollars ($0 per year). Owned primary residences do not pay the 18-mill tax.
- This operating millage would renew the existing levy on non-homestead properties which includes businesses, vacation homes, and investment and rental properties.
- If the operating millage proposal is not renewed, there is no alternative funding source to replace it.
- If the GBCS non-homestead operating millage falls below 18 mills, the district does not receive its full foundation allowance.
- Voting for this operating millage renewal will take place May 4, 2027.
