Oscoda County: sheriff vehicles and equipment millage

The question, as printed on the ballot

This millage represents authorization to levy .33 mills for four years, 2026-2029, for costs of operating the Oscoda County Sheriff’s Department, replacing previous authorization of .25 mills for such operating expenses, which expires with the 2029 levy. Shall the limitation upon the total amount of general ad valorem taxes imposed upon real and tangible personal property in any one (1) year under the Michigan Constitution be increased in the County of Oscoda, Michigan by .33 mills (which is equal to $.33 per $1,000.00 of taxable value of all such property) for a period of four (4) years, 2026 through 2029 inclusive, for the purpose of acquiring, maintaining, and operating vehicles, equipment and inventory for the use by the Oscoda County Sheriff’s Department? The amount of revenue the county will collect if the millage is approved and levied by the county in the first year is estimated to be $179,310.83. The proposed millage is a new additional millage, the revenue from which would be disbursed to the County of Oscoda.
