The question, as printed on the ballot

Shall the previous voted increase in the tax limitation imposed under Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution in Sanborn Township, of 1 mill ($1.00 per $1,000 of taxable value), which will expire in 2026, and which has been reduced and may be further reduced by the required millage rollbacks, be renewed and increased up to the original voted 1 mill ($1.00 per $1,000 of taxable value) and levied for a period of 5 years, from 2027 through 2031 inclusive, with the funds to be used for fire department equipment acquisition purposes, raising an estimated $84,435.00 in the first year the millage is levied?

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote renews and restores a 1-mill property tax for five years (2027–2031) for fire department equipment.

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the renewal; the current millage expires in 2026.
