Change in Walled Lake Consolidated Schools Tax Collection On December 4, 2003, the Walled Lake Consolidated School District adopted a resolution to collect 100% of the school taxes on the summer tax bill. A public hearing was held at the December 4, 2003 meeting to address citizen questions and the attendance was very light. In the past, the City of Wixom has levied the Walled Lake Schools millage 50% on the summer tax bill and 50% on the winter tax bill. In July 2004, the City of Wixom will levy 100% on the summer tax bill and 0% on the winter tax bill. What does this mean to you? Example: In 2003, the owner of a $200,000 home with a taxable value of $100,000 paid $376.24 on the summer bill and $376.24 on the winter bill (3.7624 mills at $1 per $1,000 of taxable value for each period). In 2004, both portions will be collected on the summer bill, therefore doubling the school portion collected on the summer bill and collecting $0 on the winter tax bill. Please note that the above tax amounts are based upon 2003 school millage rates and are subject to change for the 2004 tax collection.
