Committee Meeting | W&M - October 6, 2026

The Wayne County Commission Ways and Means Committee met on October 6, 2026. It approved the September 22 meeting minutes. The committee received a report on certified 2026 ad valorem tax rates, which the assessment equalization director said were compiled for conformity with the law and showed no unusual changes. Members discussed the transit millage, potential future tax bills after property sales, and public outreach; the county’s millage was described as essentially unchanged at about 5.9 mills. The director said a parcel tax calculator developed with the Department of Information Technology was operational, and agreed to share information so commissioners could publicize it. No state-level action on buyer tax-increase disclosures was identified.
