Royal Oak Township, MI – Voters in Royal Oak Township have two ballot measures on the May 7, 2019 election.
Ballot Language is as follows:
General Operating Millage Renewal
Shall the Charter Township of Royal Oak be authorized to continue the previously authorized levy of 4.5000 mills for a period of 4 years, 2020 through 2023 inclusive to provide general operating capital purchase funds? Approval of the proposal authorizes the levy of approximately $4.50 per $1,000.00 of taxable value on all taxable property in the Charter Township of Royal Oak. It is estimated that this proposal would result in authorization to collect approximately $144,150 in the first year, if approved.
