Why did the township place a levy on the ballot? 

Lower Revenue, Increased Expenses

Pierce Township voters last passed a police levy in 2007. Due to current expenses and revenues, reserve (carryover) funds are being used to cover the budget. The reserve funds will be exhausted by the beginning of 2027.

The graph illustrates the impact on reserve funds as expenses increase and revenue remains stagnant*.

*The recent property tax increase did not impact levy revenue. For voter approved millage, state law prohibits growth in revenue when property reappraisals occur.

Increased Demand on Services

More than a decade after the last police levy passed (2007), the township population spiked due to Amelia’s dissolution (2019).
