ATLAS TOWNSHIP, MI Atlas Township has two tax proposals on the May ballot to renew millages that fund police coverage and fire protection in the community.
On the Tuesday, May 4 ballot, the township is asking voters to renew a 2.064-mill ($2.06 per $1,000 of taxable value) levy for police operations and a 0.98-mill ($.98 per $1,000 of taxable value) levy for fire protection.
If passed by voters, both renewals would go into effect for five years.
The police tax is estimated to collect $772,800 in its first year and the fire tax is expected to collect $368,000, according to the ballot language. The police millage is a slight reduction from 2.1-mills, which were levied over the past five years.
