Bill Number: HB 4926
Subject: Local Millages
Sponsor: Lynn Afendoulis
MASA Position:

Description: Modifies local community stabilization share millage cap and authorizes county and township assessors to make a series of new calculations for the enhancement millage on intermediate school districts. For calendar year 2020 and all subsequent years, the bill would authorize county and township assessors to exclude enhancement millages from the calculated millage for intermediate school districts in their report to the county equalization director. In addition, beginning in the calendar year 2020, the bill would require the Department of Treasury to make the following calculations before May 1 of each year for enhancement millages levied by intermediate school districts: I. Calculate the individual enhancement millage rate levied by each intermediate school district in 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively. II. Calculate each intermediate school district’s eligible millage cap as the highest rate levied in 2012, 2013, or 2014 for its enhancement millage. III. Calculate the individual enhancement millage rate for each intermediate school district to be the lesser of the millage cap described in point II and the millage levied in the year immediately preceding the current year for the enhancement millage. The millage used to make the calculations under the act would be levied against both real and personal property. This new millage would also eliminate the calculation of increases in the taxable value of commercial personal property and industrial property in each municipality, city, and township since 2013 from expired tax exemptions from the amount reported by county and township assessors to their respective county equalizing directors.
