The November election will include BMFPD ballot issue 5A which proposes to increase the General Operating Mill Levy from 6.189 to 8.912. This tax increase would generate $150,000 per year for BMFPD to maintain our current level of services and restore Capital Equipment Funding.
The new mill levy rate would increase the property tax of a homeowner by about $108 per year for a home with a market value of $500,000. The supplemental water supply sub district mill levy would remain unchanged at 1.809 mills.
