The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners approved the millage rates for the county’s senior services, road and highways maintenance, and early childhood programs at their Tuesday regular meeting.
Leelanau County residents voted to renew these millages in the Aug. 6 primary elections, allowing the county to levy property taxes for the county road and highways and senior services for two years, from 2024 to 2025. The early childhood program was also renewed for a five-year period, from 2025 to 2029, in this election.
But the county commissioners did not set the final 2024 tax rates until their September sessions. The road and senior millages will be levied at the maximum allowed amounts by votes – 0.5000 and 0.3200 mills respectively – but the early childhood millage will be levied at 0.2000 mills out of a total authorized rate of 0.2530.
