Taxes are currently levied for County operations only in December. The County's 2004 Property tax levy will be 5.2160 mills, which is $5.2160 per $1,000 of taxable value. This millage, along with the senior millage is the only tax currently levied by Cheboygan County to support operations. The taxes levied in July, are for the State Education Tax (S.E.T.) and some local unit tax. The S.E.T. is being levied at 6.0 mills in 2004. The taxes for all units are calculated n the taxable value of your property, which is capped and may be considerably lower than the State Equalized Value (S.E.V.).
