MACOMB COUNTY VETERANS’ MILLAGE
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.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MILLAGE
A 0.95 mill tax ($0.95 per $1,000 of taxable value) was previously approved by the voters for tax years 2022 through 2026 for the purpose of supporting the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) in providing a public transportation system serving older adults, persons with disabilities, and the general public of Macomb County. That millage is scheduled to expire after 2026.This proposal would authorize a new 0.94 mill tax to replace the previously approved and expiring millage. The new 0.94 mill tax for tax years 2027 through 2031, inclusive (five (5) years), is to provide funds for public transportation services serving older adults, persons with disabilities, and the general public of Macomb County.
MACOMB COUNTY ZOOLOGICAL AUTHORITY
Renewal of Macomb County Zoological Authority Millage in Support of the Detroit Zoo
In 2008 and 2016, pursuant to Public Act 49 of 2008, Macomb County voters renewed a 10-year property tax millage to fund zoological services through the Macomb County Zoological Authority, supporting animal care for more than 2,000 animals and 200 species, educational and senior programs, and facility maintenance at the Detroit Zoo.
To continue providing these services, the Authority seeks to renew and restore the millage to the originally voter-approved rate of 0.10 mill (10 cents per $1,000 of taxable value). This proposal would renew the millage at 0.0922 mill and restore the remaining 0.0078 mill that was reduced due to required rollback, for a total authorized rate of 0.10 mill on taxable real and personal property for ten (10) years.
