Benzie County Benzonia Township Proposal - Library Millage Proposal
Shall Benzonia Township, Benzie County, Michigan, be authorized to levy a millage annually in an amount not to exceed .78 mill ($0.78 per $1,000 of taxable value), of which .5518 mill is a renewal of the previously authorized millage that expires in 2026 and .2282 mill is new additional millage, against all taxable property in the Township for a period of seven (7) years 2027 through 2033, inclusive, to provide funds for all library purposes authorized by law? The estimate of the revenue the Township will collect if the millage is approved and levied in the first year of the levy (2027) is approximately $265,000. As provided in the Joint Library Board Agreement between the Township and the Villages of Benzonia and Beulah, the revenue from this millage levy will be disbursed equally to the Benzonia Public Library and the Darcy Library of Beulah.
