6.A. Pre-Certify the 2025 PAY 2026 Levy for the SY 2026-2027
Presenter:
Executive Director of Business Services Rider
Description:
The Board is requested to take action via roll call vote (virtual participation) on the recommendation to certify the proposed property tax levy for the taxes payable in 2026 and authorize the clerk to execute the levy certification forms in the " maximum amount". The Truth in Taxation Hearing will be held during the regularly scheduled board meeting on December 8 beginning at 6:00 pm.
Attached is the current copy of the Certified Levy printout. The levy has been reviewed and reflects our current maximum levy for PAY 2026; however, MDE continues to review the system to ensure all data is uploaded as necessary. Certifying at the "maximum amount" will allow for anticipated changes, slight statewide adjustments, and applicable referendum results to be made and incorporated in the Proposed Property Tax Notifications and final certified levy.
