The Back of the Ballot

The West Branch-Rose City Area Schools has a proposal on the November 3, 2026, ballot.  This proposal, which will have no effect on a homeowner’s primary residence, is to restore the millage to the maximum allowed by the state of 18 mills. It will be found on the back of the ballot.

This millage is levied on properties not otherwise exempt by law, such as businesses, second homes, vacant properties, and rentals.

The school district is asking for approval of 5 mills to address the current rollback and the rollbacks over the next 8 years of the operational millage.  Only 18 mills can be levied, so the amount increased this year would be 1.0515 on non-homestead properties only. 

In previous years, the rollback has been relatively small.  During this school year, the amount the district is not allowed to levy, due to the rollback, will be just over $540,000.  This affects our general funds, which are used for general operations of the school district, including classroom supplies, transportation, staffing, utilities, facility maintenance, and athletics.

The Michigan Headlee Amendment requires local governments to “roll back” property tax millage rates if the total assessed value of existing property in a community grows faster than the rate of inflation.

For more information about this proposal or about our school district, contact us at 989-343-2001.  Check our website at wbrc.k12.mi.us or the district Facebook page. 


Go Falcons!
