Separate Tax Limitation Proposal: Establishes the maximum operating tax levy for Clinton County, its townships and its intermediate school district. The limitation would last for four years. The maximum millage Clinton County could levy during that time period would be 5.8, while the maximum for townships would be one and for the intermediate school district 0.2. One “mill” equals one dollar per $1,000 of taxable dollars.

Bath Township Police and Fire Millage Renewal: Renews the current millage of $2.97 per $1,000 and increases it slightly to $3. The renewal would last for two more years.
