The question, as printed on the ballot

If approved, this proposal will levy for four (4) years, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030, 0.0690 mills by Macomb County that expires in 2026. This will continue funding the financial aid and services for Macomb County veterans and support the administration of the Macomb County Department of Veteran Affairs and Macomb County Veteran Affairs Commission. Shall the 0.0690 millage be renewed and restore the remaining 0.0017 mills that was reduced due to required rollback, for a total authorized rate of 0.0690 mills for the years 2027 through 2030, (6.9 cents per $1,000 of taxable value), be levied for four (4) years, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030 inclusive, by Macomb County on taxable real and personal property for the purpose of providing financial aid and services for Macomb County Veterans and to support the administration of the Macomb County Department of Veterans Affairs and Macomb County Veterans Affairs Commission? It is estimated that a levy of 0.0690 mills will raise approximately $2,877,813 in the first calendar year of the levy. For example, on a property having a residential market value of $100,000 (estimated taxable value of $50,000), 0.0690 mills would be $3.45 of levied tax annually.

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote renews and restores a 0.069-mill Macomb County property tax for 2027–2030 to fund aid and services for veterans and the county's veterans affairs department.

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the renewal of the veterans millage.
