Tecumseh, MI – The Tecumseh Public School District will present their voters with a renewal of the non-Homestead Millage on the November 7th ballot.
This millage, set at 18 mills, primarily affects commercial properties, some agricultural holdings, and non-principal residences. The district says that it will not alter taxes on primary homes.
This is not a new tax or an unscheduled special election. This practice aligns with the statewide policy initiated by Proposal A in 1994, mandating that every Michigan school district secures a portion of their per-pupil Foundation Allowance from locally collected non-homestead millages.
For Tecumseh Public Schools, this funding source constitutes nearly 8% of the total budget, equivalent to almost $2.9 million earmarked for the 2023-2024 school year.
Tecumseh Public Schools urges all eligible voters to participate and make their voices heard by voting on November 7th.
