WHEATLAND TOWNSHIP

• Wheatland Township Public Library Millage-Renewal of Previously Authorized Millage

  • Shall the tax rate limitation for Wheatland Township be increased, and a tax levied on all taxable property, in the amount of eight-tenths (0.8) mill ($0.80 per $1,000 of taxable value) for the years 2025- 2028, inclusive? This proposed millage would renew a previously authorized millage for Township Public Library purposes set to expire December 31, 2024, in the amount of .8 mill. The purpose of this levy is to provide funds for operational expenses to allow the Library to strive to continue to offer its services and hours at least at a reduced capacity. It is estimated that a levy of .8 mill would provide a revenue of $39,500.00 in the first calendar year.

    • YES - 345

    • NO - 343

• Wheatland Township Public Library Millage-Renewal of Previously Authorized Millage

  • Shall the tax rate limitation for Wheatland Township be increased, and a tax levied on all taxable property, in the amount of four-tenths (0.4) mill ($0.40 per $1,000 of taxable value) for the years 2025-2028, inclusive? This proposed millage would renew a previously authorized millage for Township Public Library purposes set to expire December 31, 2024, in the amount of .4 mill. The purpose of this levy is to provide funds for operational expenses and to allow the Library to strive to continue to offer its present services and hours (in conjunction with the passing of the eight-tenths (0.8) mill library millage renewal also on the ballot). It is estimated that a levy of .4 mill would provide a revenue of $19,750.00 in the first calendar year.
