ALPENA — Voters around Northeast Michigan will see tax hike and tax renewal questions on the Aug. 2 ballot that would raise money for everything from fixing roads to firefighting to parks.

Here’s a roundup of ballot proposals area voters will decide when they head to the polls.

ALPENA COUNTY

ALPENA COUNTY VETERANS MILLAGE

Alpena County will ask voters to renew for another four years its 0.21-mill property tax supporting veterans services.

The tax would cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $10.50 a year and would raise about $207,000 a year to fund the Alpena County Department of Veterans Affairs, which provides a variety of services to the county’s military veterans.

ALPENA COUNTY YOUTH AND RECREATION MILLAGE

Alpena County also will ask voters for a four-year renewal of its 0.5-mill tax supporting the county’s Youth and Recreation Committee.

The property tax would cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $25 a year and would raise about $493,000 a year to support grants administered through the Youth and Rec Committee for a variety of programs and organizations serving young people and the general public.

In its last round of giving, the committee’s biggest recipient was the county-owned Plaza Pool, which received $80,000 of about $500,000 in total given by the committee. The committee also supported area campgrounds, 4-H programs, the Boys and Girls Club of Alpena, a planned remodel of the Culligan Plaza in downtown Alpena, and more.

ALPENA COUNTY SENIOR SERVICES TAX

Alpena County also will ask voters for a four-year renewal of its 0.55-mill senior services property tax funding the county’s Older Persons Committee.

The tax would cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $27.50 a year and would raise about $542,000 for the committee, which provides grants to organizations and programs that help with everything from health to social well-being to transportation of Alpena County residents 60 or older.

The committee has funded everything from Plaza Pool to help make swim time affordable for seniors to the county’s Meals on Wheels program.

ALPENA TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT TAX

Alpena Township wants voters to approve a tax hike to fund the township fire department.

The township seeks approval of a new, 3-mill property tax that would cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $150 a year and raise about $1.1 million a year to fund operations and equipment at the Alpena Township Fire Department. The township would levy the property tax for six years.

The township has struggled to maintain its fire department, which has cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in subsidies from the township general fund and has been understaffed. The township last year briefly contracted with the Alpena Fire Department for firefighting services and the city offered to continue doing so for about $400,000 to $475,000 per year, but a split township board voted to pull the services back in-house.

The new tax would help the township maintain its own fire department without subsidization from the general fund.

Township property owners already pay 1.5 mills — about $75 a year for the owner of a $100,000 house — for firefighting operations and will pay that tax through 2027. Another 0.65-mill tax for firefighting equipment — costing the owner of a $100,000 house about $32.50 per year — will be charged for the last time this year.

Alpena Township has a roughly $1.2 million annual general fund budget.

ALPENA TOWNSHIP ROADS TAX

Alpena Township wants voters to OK a new, 2-mill property tax to raise money for work on roads and ditches.

The tax would cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $100 a year and would raise about $756,000 a year for the township.

The township would levy the tax for 10 years.

SANBORN TOWNSHIP FIRE EQUIPMENT TAX

Sanborn Township will ask voters to approve a five-year renewal of its 1-mill property tax for firefighting equipment.

The tax would cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $50 a year and would raise about $67,000 a year.

PRESQUE ISLE COUNTY

PRESQUE ISLE COUNTY RECYCLING TAX

Presque Isle County wants voters to renew its tax that funds recycling services for the next four years, at a rate of 0.2 mills.

That tax would cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $10 a year and would raise about $155,000 a year.

PRESQUE ISLE COUNTY, ESD, TOWNSHIPS TAX

Presque Isle County wants permission from voters to levy for another four years three separate property taxes funding the county, schools, and the county’s townships, including:
