On Nov. 3, 2026, Howell Public Schools voters will be asked to consider two proposals related to the district's non-homestead operating millage. The first proposal will ask voters to consider renewing the district's existing non-homestead operating millage authorization, while the second proposal will ask voters to consider restoring millage authority that has been reduced over time due to Headlee Amendment rollbacks.

The non-homestead operating millage is required under Michigan law for the district to receive its full per-pupil funding established by the State of Michigan. The millage only to non-homestead property, such as businesses, rental properties and second homes. It does not apply to owner-occupied primary residences or qualified agricultural property. This webpage provides factual information about both proposals, including frequently asked questions, ballot language and additional resources to help community members understand the renewal and restoration proposals.
