Sanilac County adopts 2025 apportionment report after equalization briefing
Summary
After a staff presentation explaining millage‑reduction fractions and the statewide apportionment forms, the Sanilac County Board unanimously adopted the 2025 apportionment resolution certifying tax rates and millage reductions where required.
Keegan, a county staff presenter, told the board the apportionment report lays out taxable values and the formulas used to calculate millage‑reduction fractions under state equalization procedures. "It's done to reduce the burden on the taxpayers," Keegan said while explaining how last year's taxable value, current‑year losses and the rate of inflation feed the L‑4028 and related forms.
Commissioner John Moody read a resolution citing the Michigan Constitution and the General Property Tax Act and the board voted by roll call to adopt the 2025 apportionment report. The resolution certifies that millages have been reduced where necessary and that truth‑in‑taxation hearings have been held if required. Leslie recorded a unanimous roll call in favor.
The apportionment packet includes schedules showing taxable values, allocated operating rates and estimates of levy amounts for townships, cities, villages, school districts and special districts. Keegan told commissioners the county also compiles an intercounty L‑4028 report for taxing authorities that cross county lines.
