Village of Holly

What Village of Holly does

Village of Holly is a municipal government entity incorporated in 1865 in Oakland County, Michigan, USA, serving more than 6,000 residents across more than 2.5 square miles. It administers a full suite of local government functions including utilities, public works, code enforcement, public safety, planning and zoning, tax administration, and parks and recreation, organized across departments led by a Village Manager, Clerk/Treasurer, Utilities Director, Police Chief, and Fire Chief.

Its core operational infrastructure includes four groundwater wells connected to miles of water and sewer pipe, three water towers with combined 875,000 gallon capacity, multiple lift stations, catch basins, pressure booster stations, a wastewater treatment plant operating a mercury pollutant minimization program, seven parks and playgrounds, and a roadway network of 7+ miles of major trunk-line plus 15 miles of village streets. The Village website (hollyvillage.org) serves as the primary digital interface, integrating a BSA Online payment gateway for utility and fee payments and a Gov Delivery e-news subscription service for citizen communications.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: a proposed FY2026-2027 general property tax millage of 10.9641 mills, a 4.0000 mill public safety special assessment for police and fire, monthly usage-based water and sewer billing per 1,000 gallons consumed, and transactional fees from building permits, sign permits, rental property registration, and special event permits. The Village partners with Priority Waste Services for waste collection, Main Street Holly DDA and the Holly Area Chamber of Commerce for economic development, SMART of Oakland County for senior transportation, and Oakland County Dispatch for 911 emergency dispatch. No external commercial products, technology offerings, or AI/ML capabilities are offered outside the village's civic mandate.
