This spring, there will be a 2-mil levy on the ballot for Orange Township. This levy will be taking the place of the previous 2-mil levy that expired in December 2025 and will continue to support and advance modern equipment and training programs to meet the needs of a growing community and deliver exceptional service.
This levy will cost $70 per $100,000 of appraised property value.
This levy is not a new tax. This levy is replacing the 2-mill additional levy approved in 2023. However, it will be collecting at the current property values, and will be extended to a 5-year period. The previous 2-mill levy was only 2 years.
This 2-Mil levy is replacing the current 2-Mil levy that expired in December of 2025. This levy is a proposed 5-year levy that will begin collecting in 2027.
