Park Township: parks and recreation millage renewal and increase

The question, as printed on the ballot

Shall the previous voted increase in the tax limitations imposed under Article IX Sec. 6 of the Michigan Constitution in Park Township, Ottawa County, Michigan of 0.6 mills ($0.60 per $1000 of taxable value), reduced to 0.5720 mills ($0.5720 per $1000 of taxable value) by the required rollbacks expiring on December 31, 2026, be renewed and increased to 0.7 mills ($0.7 per $1000 of taxable value) for four (4) years, beginning in January 2027, and ending December 31, 2030. The inclusive intent of the millage is to provide funds to Park Township for parks and recreation purposes including but not limited to operation, maintenance, repair, renovation, rebuilding, or improvement of Township-owned or leased land, buildings and other improvements used for parks and/or recreation purposes, and the purchase or lease of land for parks, recreation, and open space/greenway purposes. If approved and levied in its entirety in the first calendar year of authorization, this proposal would raise an estimated $1,006,720 and would be subject to Headlee rollback pursuant to Article IX, Section 31 of the Michigan Constitution. This proposal would increase the taxes on a home with a market value of $500,000 by approximately $32 per year.
