MI AC Saugatuck Township Cemetery Millage Renewal and Restoration Proposal
It is proposed that Saugatuck Township levy a tax of 0.224 mills for cemetery purposes. The proposed millage includes (1) a renewal of 0.2155 mills that were previously approved by voters and (2) an increase of 0.0085 mills as a new additional millage. This renewal and increase would restore the Township’s authority—which was reduced by law—to levy a total of 0.224 mills. The money raised could be used for the operation, maintenance, repair, construction, improvement, and renovation of the Township cemeteries. This would cost taxpayers about $0.22 (22 cents) for each $1,000 of taxable real and personal property. The charge would apply each year from 2026 through 2030, beginning with the 2026 winter tax bill. About $126,815 would be raised in the first year. Should the proposed renewal and increase be approved?
