Ballot Language
RENEWAL OF ROAD MAINTENANCE MILLAGE
Shall the Charter Township of Bloomfield be authorized to renew up to .6575 mills for a period of ten years to finance continued road maintenance, commencing with the December 2027 levy? Approval of this proposal would permit a tax of $0.6575 per $1,000 of taxable value on all taxable property in the Township. This proposed millage is a renewal of a previously authorized millage which expires in 2026. This millage will be subject to applicable constitutional tax limitation provisions at the time of levy, and will not exceed the above-stated rate. It is estimated that this proposal would result in the authorization to collect $3,929,885 in the first year if approved and levied. Shall this proposal be adopted?
