On August 8th, the Port Huron Area School District will present a crucial proposal to voters – the Operating Millage Renewal. This ballot initiative aims to extend the levy of 18 mills on most commercial, business, rental properties, vacant land, and second-home properties. Notably, this renewal will have no impact on property taxes for primary home residences.
The 18 mill Non-Principal Residence property tax, which supports the district’s operational needs, is set to expire in December 2023, before the 2024-25 school year. Its continuation is vital to ensure the provision of quality programming, educational materials, and support for the dedicated staff. Importantly, this is not a new tax but a renewal of the existing millage initially approved by voters in August 2018.
Residents are reminded to cast their votes on Tuesday, August 8, to decide the fate of this critical millage renewal, which exclusively affects non-principal residence properties.
