Nelson Township Proposal -- 0.5000 Mill for Fire Protection Purposes
Shall the increase in the Township of Nelson tax rate limitation, currently 0.5000 mill ($0.5000 per $1,000 of taxable value), be renewed and levied in the years 2012-2017, both inclusive, subject to reduction as provided by law, on taxable property in the Township? The purpose of this levy is to provide funds for fire protection services in the Township including the cost of contracting for fire protection services and for the acquisition of fire and rescue motor vehicles, apparatus, equipment, and buildings. It is estimated that a levy of 0.5000 mill would provide revenue of $60,147 in the first calendar year. The revenue from this millage levy will be disbursed to the Township of Nelson.
