What will happen if voters don't approve the non-homestead renewal and restoration millage?
All Michigan school districts must ask voters to approve a non-homestead property tax. If school districts don't follow this procedure established by the Michigan Legislature, they will not receive their full foundation allowance.
How much revenue will the non-homestead replacement millage generate?
The non-homestead millage is projected to generate approximately $1,046,417.36 per year. This revenue makes up 5% of the school district’s operating budget.
How will the non-homestead renewal and restoration millage impact farmland?
The impact on farmland depends on whether the farmland is part of a residence (primary homestead) or on a non-homestead farming property, the percentage of the land that is farmed, etc.
Central Families,
Count Day is February 14th, NOT tomorrow, as was originally printed on the district calendar. Pajama Day will take place on the 14th ONLY - not tomorrow. Thanks!

What is a non-homestead renewal and restoration millage?
A non-homestead renewal and restoration millage supports the school district’s general operating budget. The operating budget covers everything necessary to provide educational programs and services in Vassar Public Schools. The non-homestead replacement millage is not levied on primary residences (the home in which a homeowner lives); it only applies to businesses, second homes, vacant land, and rental property. All school districts in Michigan must levy 18 mills on non-homestead property to receive their full foundation allowance.
In all Michigan school districts, the 18 mill non-homestead levy is subject to rollbacks per the Headlee Amendment to the Michigan Constitution. While school districts cannot levy more than 18 mills on non-homestead property, Vassar Public Schools is requesting approval of an additional .5 mill non-homestead levy to protect against future rollbacks when they occur.

The second proposal on the February 27 ballot is a 10-year, non-homestead renewal and restoration millage proposal. This millage does not impact the taxes on primary residences (the home in which a homeowner lives).
