The proposed millage is a renewal of a previously authorized millage. The previously authorized millage will expire with the 12/1/2023 tax levy. By law, the Rogers City Downtown Development Authority will receive a portion of the millage collected from the Rogers City Downtown Development Authority District only.

This tax capture only affects properties that are within the portion of the City of Rogers City that belong to the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) district. It has no effect on properties outside of the DDA district’s boundaries. Tax capture authorities capture the “growth” on properties in their districts. This means the Rogers City Area Ambulance Service Authority continues to receive taxes on the original value of the property in the DDA district, but the “growth” portion goes to the DDA. This is required by state law.
