6/26/14 - The Howell school district will be going to voters again this fall for a renewal of its non-homestead property tax. Assistant Superintendent of Finance Rick Terres tells WHMI there will be no difference between the millage now and the millage that will be offered to residents. It will be an 18-mill, non-homestead property tax, and it has been renewed for the past 18 years. The tax represents about $11 million of the districtâs $65 million budget. An 18-mill property tax means a property with a taxable value of $100,000 would pay $1,800 per year in taxes. The non-homestead millage does not apply to residential properties, but is levied against businesses and other types of uses. Terres says the state presumes that this millage will be passed, and there will be no adjustment in funding from Lansing if voters reject the renewal. (TD)
