On May 6, Alcona voters will be asked to consider two essential ACS millages—both with a ZERO tax rate increase.
The first millage is a renewal of the 18 mills non-homestead tax. This millage provides 90% of Alcona Schools local operating revenue. This millage is a renewal, meaning taxpayers will not pay an increased tax rate.
The second millage is a 0.9847 mill sinking fund renewal for capital improvements, such as construction, repairs, technology, and security updates. This is a renewal, meaning taxpayers will not see an increase in their tax rate. Sinking funds cannot be used for wages or benefits.
Learn more about our May 6 millage renewals at alconaschools.net
