• The Detroit Public Schools Community District, County of Wayne, State of Michigan (“DPSCD”), on behalf of the School District of the City of Detroit (“DPS”) will hold a public hearing on a proposed increase of 1.3968 mills of non-homestead operating millage to be levied in 2024 by DPSCD on behalf of DPS. The public hearing will be held at the DPSCD Board meeting scheduled for November 7, 2024, at 12:00 p.m., at 3011 West Grand Blvd., 12th Floor, Detroit, Michigan 48202.

     

    The proposed additional non-homestead millage will be voted at the November 5, 2024, general election, and if approved by the voters the Board of Education of DPSCD on behalf of DPS is scheduled to approve the levy of the additional non-homestead tax at its Board meeting scheduled for November 7, 2024.

     

    The proposed additional non-homestead millage will not be levied on personal residences (i.e., owner occupied homes).

     

     The proposed additional non-homestead millage will increase revenues from ad valorem property taxes 8.57% over such revenues generated by levies permitted without holding a hearing. If the proposed additional non-homestead millage rate is not approved the revenue will increase by 4.89% over the preceding year's revenue.

     

    DPSCD on behalf of DPS has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied from within DPS’ authorized millage rate.

     

    This notice is published by DPSCD on behalf of DPS, 3011 West Grand Blvd., Detroit, Michigan 48202, telephone (313) 873 - 6194.
