August 4, 2026 Ballot Proposals

PROPOSAL FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE CITY OF ANN ARBOR BUILDING AND SITE SINKING FUND MILLAGE RENEWAL

This proposal will renew the authority last approved by the electors in 2017 and which expires with the 2026 levy for the School District to levy a building and site sinking fund millage. Pursuant to State law, the expenditure of the building and site sinking fund millage proceeds must be audited, and the proceeds cannot be used for teacher, administrator or employee salaries, maintenance or other operating expenses.

Shall the Public Schools of the City of Ann Arbor be authorized to levy 2.4031 mills ($2.4031 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation), for a period of ten (10) years, being the years 2027 to 2036, inclusive, as a renewal of millage previously authorized, to maintain a building and site sinking fund to be used for the construction or repair of school buildings, school security improvements, the acquisition or upgrading of technology, the acquisition of student transportation vehicles, trucks and vans and parts, supplies and equipment used for the maintenance of these vehicles and for any other purposes permitted by law? This millage if approved and levied would provide estimated revenues to the School District of approximately $33,766,376 in the first year that it is levied.

PROPOSAL FOR WASHTENAW COMMUNITY COLLEGE OPERATING MILLAGE RENEWAL

This proposal will permit the College to continue to levy up to 0.85 mill that was previously approved by electors to fund operations for 10 years. Of the 0.85 mill, 0.8109 mill represents a renewal of the 0.85 mill authorization approved by the electors in 2016, which will expire with the 2026 tax levy and 0.0391 mill represents a restoration of that portion of the same millage authority which was reduced by application of the Headlee Amendment.

Shall the limitation on the total amount of taxes which may be imposed on taxable property within the Washtenaw Community College district, State of Michigan, be increased by 0.85 mill ($0.85 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of 10 years, the years 2027 to 2036, inclusive, as a renewal of the 0.8109 mill previously authorized by the electors which expires with the 2026 levy plus new additional millage in the amount of 0.0391 mill, to provide funds for operating purposes?

It is estimated that 0.85 mill would raise approximately $21,933,415 when first levied in 2027.

2024 General Election Facts​

A quick look back: Facts from the November 5th, 2024 General Election!​ (PDF)

​​*The numbers in the 2024 General Election Fact Sheet represent how voters actually cast their ballots - by absentee vote, early voting, or in-person voting on Election Day. A small number of absentee ballots from the final Election Day returns were inadvertently recorded as and are reflected in the official canvass as "Election Day votes." This does not affect any votes cast or the final vote totals but does appear to show a lower number of absentee votes and a higher number of Election Day votes when comparing individual precincts.
