Description:  Each year we must approve a resolution to establish the millage to be assessed on taxable property in the District. This process is accomplished by completing From L-4029 which is delivered to each township office in the District. This form provides the appropriate millage level to assess on property tax bills. 
As part of this levy establishment process, we set the millage on the non-homestead property at the State maximum of 18.0000 mills, in addition to 7.0000 mills among the debt funds. This will be effective on the December tax collections.
The Resolution and Form L-4029 are enclosed and will require signatures of the Board President and Secretary.
