Northville Township to seek millage renewal on August ballot
Northville Township will ask voters to consider a millage renewal on the Aug. 4 ballot to continue at 7.2054 millage set to expire at the end of the year.
If approved by voters, the millage would provide continuity of current services, funding township operations, including police, fire, EMS, Parks & Recreation, Senior Services and the Youth Network, according to Township Supervisor Mark J. Abbo.
“The key point for residents to recognize is that this is a renewal of an existing millage, not a new tax,” said. “If approved, it would allow the township to continue providing the same level of services our community relies on today.”
The township would levy the millage for 8 years at the 2025 rollback rate of 7.2054 mills, which equals approximately $7.21 per $1,000 of taxable value. The tax revenue would be allocated at 6.3447 mills for public safety, 0.7452 mills for parks, senior and youth services and 0.1155 mills for general operations, according to data provided by the township.
Public safety services account for the largest portion of the proposed allocation, officials said. “Community input has shown that residents want to maintain current service levels in these areas,” they noted.
The township follows a standard budgeting process that requires voter approval to continue millages when they expire and adjust due to state rollback requirements.
The proposed millage represents a renewal of an existing levy at the 2025 rollback rate of 7.2054 mills. The exact impact on individual properties will depend on taxable value.
Residents can estimate their individual tax impact by multiplying the proposed millage rate by their property’s taxable value.
