HB 4583 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Property tax: millage; millage elections; limit to November elections. Amends secs. 24f & 36 of 1893 PA 206 (MCL 211.24f & 211.36).

HB 4583 amends Michigan's property tax law to clarify ballot requirements for millage elections and limit election timing. It requires clear disclosure on ballots about millage rates, estimated revenue, duration, purpose, and whether it's a renewal or new tax (Section 24f). After December 31, 2025, local governments must hold all millage proposals (new taxes or increases) exclusively during November elections, with limited exceptions for school districts (Section 24f(4)). This bill directly affects cities, counties, school districts, and other local taxing units that seek voter approval for property tax levies, ensuring voters receive standardized information before voting.
