Mendon’s K–12 school district, shared with Black Creek Township, Dublin Township, Rockford, Union Township, Willshire and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $14,039 per pupil, $9,696 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.

No comparison or trend for Mendon yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Mendon’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.

Typical yearly bill next door and statewide

Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
