Kinross Charter Township has determined the necessity to operate and maintain a Police Department for the area contained within the former Kincheloe Air Force Base. On August 25, 1981, the Township made final determination of a special assessment district known as the 1981 Police Special Assessment District. It is the intention of the Township to annually determine the estimated costs and expenses for police protection within this special assessment district and to fund all or part of these estimated costs and expenses by special assessment on properties in this district.
The Township has estimated the costs and expenses of police protection for the Township's April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027 fiscal year and has determined that funds will be available from other sources, if any. The Township pursuant to Michigan law intends to impose special assessments on benefited properties within the special assessment district to pay for the costs of police protection for the 2026 through 2027 fiscal year, which are unavailable from other sources of revenue. The Township has on file the proposed special assessment roll for the police district. The benefited properties, which includes residential, commercial and industrial will be taxed as follows:
10.00 MILLS APPLIED TO THE TAXABLE VALUATION
These special assessments will be payable with your December 1, 2025 tax bill.
