The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners approved the apportionment report for 2024, which is an analysis and listing of the millage rates levied in the county, at their regular session Tuesday.
Andrew Giguere, the county’s equalization director, presented the report to the board at their Oct. 1 executive session. Giguere explained that “equalization” itself means ensuring that all property is being assessed fairly and uniformly. After equalization in May, the county must complete apportionment at their annual meeting in October.
“The board of commissioners exercises oversight on how the overall taxable value of the county, and the revenue generated by that taxable value, is distributed across the various governmental units within the county,” Giguere said.
