Headlee Millage Roll-Back Formula
HEADLEE MAXIMUM MILLAGE ROLL-BACK FORMULA:
This formula calculates the reduction in the maximum allowed operating millage rate so that it does not
grow in tax value from the effect of Taxable Value (TV) increases by more than the inflation rate.
CURRENT REDUCTION FRACTION =
(Previous Yr's Total TV - Deletes) x Curr. Inflation Rate
(Current Year's Total TV - Adds)
The CURRENT MAXIMUM OPERATING MILLAGE RATE is calculated by multiplying the Maximum
Millage Rate in the Charter by the Previous Reduction Fraction and the Current Reduction Fraction.

NET IMPACT ON TAX REVENUE:
The Headlee Roll-Back Formula results in the City's maximum permitted operating millage rate being
reduced each year over the previous year and, therefore, has a significant impact on the City's budgetary
process.
The Truth-in-Taxation Formula indicates the actual operating millage rate which may be levied for the next
fiscal year without calling a special public hearing to consider a tax increase by raising the millage rate
within the Headlee-formula maximum limit. Because the City currently establishes it's annual operating rate
at the Headlee-formula limit, the Truth-in-Taxation formula produces the same millage rate limitation as the
Headlee formula. The impact on typical residential and commercial/industrial property owners is as follows:
