LV Headlee Information Website


A great way to start learning about the financial pressures the City faces and why a Headlee Override question will be on the November ballot is to attend a Town Hall on the Topic. The next Town Halls are scheduled for:


Tuesday, August 12 - 7:00 PM

Tuesday, September 16 - 7:00 PM

Saturday, October 11 - 11 AM

Tuesday, October 21 - 7:00 PM

Thursday, October 30 - 7:00 PM


What's on the ballot?

Here are some items that voters should expect to see on the November 2025 ballot that are directly related to Lathrup Village:


1) Three (3) seats on the Lathrup Village City Council


2) Charter Amendment - Proposal 1

Shall the City of Lathrup Village Charter be amended to eliminate conflicts with the state constitution and election laws.

 

This proposed Charter amendment would:

  1. Modify the commencement date of an elected official’s term until after certification of the election results;
  2. Extend the time for elected officials to take the oath of office to allow for certification of the election results;
  3. Delay the organizational meeting of the City Council until after certification of the election results.

              

Should this proposal be adopted?


[YES]                    [NO]


3) Headlee Override Millage Proposal

Shall a “Headlee Override” be adopted so that the current limitation on the amount of City taxes that may be levied against all taxable property in the City of Lathrup Village, Oakland County, Michigan, be increased as follows:


  • Restoring to 20 mills from approximately 17.3001 mills, per $1,000 of taxable value (to $20 from approximately $17.3001) for general operating expenses for a period of ten (10) years, and
  • Restoring to 3 mills from approximately 2.5948 mills, per $1,000 of taxable value (to $3 from approximately $2.5948) for sanitation/rubbish for a period of ten (10) years.


If approved and levied in its entirety, this millage would raise an estimated maximum amount of $611,909 for the City in 2026 by allowing the City to levy the maximum mills previously approved by the voters and authorized by the City Charter and State law which have been reduced as required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963.


[YES]                    [NO]
