9/15/14 - As the Howell school district will again go to voters this fall for a renewal of its non-homestead property tax, the district is hosting a community meeting to answer any questions from taxpayers. District officials say the 18-mill renewal is the exact same amount as the current non-homestead millage which is expected to expire next year. But because it provides the Howell district with approximately 17 percent of its operating budget, the district will hold a community meeting Tuesday, October 7th at 7pm in the administration boardroom to answer any questions on the 12-year renewal request. Non-homestead millages are not assessed against a familyâs primary residence, but instead are applied strictly to commercial properties, rental properties and second homes. Rick Terres, Howell Public Schools associate superintendent for business, says if the millage fails, the district would lose approximately $11.5 million from its budget. Additional information on the non-homestead millage renewal is available online through the link below. (JK/JM)
