Election day!
Polls are open 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
What to expect on the November 5th Ballot:
Non-Homestead Millage - The continuation of the millage on non-homestead properties and businesses would account for about 20% of the school district's total general fund.
Sinking Fund Millage - The current sinking fund millage will expire in 2025. If approved, this proposal would RENEW the current sinking fund millage for another 5 years.
Did you know? The Operating Millage Proposal is NOT a new tax and does NOT impact the taxes on residential or agricultural property.
Did you know? A homestead property is your primary residence (the home you live). Non-homestead properties include land and buildings such as businesses, rental properties and vacation homes that have not been designated as a primary residence. If approved, the operating millage WOULD NOT change the taxes on our primary residence.
Tuesday, November 5: Polls open at 7:00 a.m. and will be open until 8:00 p.m.!
