An Overview
On May 6, 2025, Kentwood Public Schools will ask voters to consider a non-homestead operating millage proposal that would allow the district to continue receiving its full revenue per-pupil foundation allowance established by the state. This proposal would authorize a 3.9295 mills cushion to ensure the district can levy the full 18 mills on non-homestead properties.
This tax does NOT apply to a homeowner’s primary residence. It applies to non-homestead properties, including businesses, rental properties, and vacation homes.
The non-homestead millage is a part of school funding in Michigan. These funds are used in a variety of ways within our school system, including: classroom supplies & technology; teacher salaries & staffing; student programs & athletics; transportation & building maintenance; and much more.
Absentee ballots are available beginning March 27, 2025. Election day is May 6, 2025.
