Non-Homestead

A non-homestead property is any property that is not a primary residence. This can be a vacation home, commercial business, or investment or rental property.

All Michigan school districts must levy 18 mills of operating millage on non-homestead properties for a specific period to receive their full revenue per-pupil foundation allowance. The operating millage provides critical funds to support the day-to-day operations of schools.

The operating millage generates approximately $4.4 million dollars annually.

If the renewal proposal is not approved, Kelloggsville Public Schools would lose approximately $4.4 million dollars annually from our general operating fund. The only way to receive these funds is by voter approval of the renewal. Cuts would need to be made if we lose access to these funds.

No, this proposal would be a renewal of a millage that expires in 2025 and was last approved by voters in May 2023.

No. Your home property tax rate would be unaffected, as a homeowner's primary residence is exempted from this tax.

Any registered voter living within Kelloggsville Public Schools district boundaries.

The election is Tuesday, May 6th, 2025. Polls are open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.

In 1978, Michigan voters approved the "Headlee" tax limitation amendment to the Michigan Constitution. This amendment requires local units of government, including school districts, to reduce millages when annual property values increase more than a statutory rate.

A mill is $1.00 for every $1,000 of taxable valuation on property.
