# 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 by motion. The committee received a report on 2026 certified apportionment tax rates; the assessment director said the rates were accounted for, the transit millage was included in local totals, and the county’s rate remained about 5.9 mills. Members discussed communicating to homebuyers how property taxes may change after a sale. The county’s parcel tax calculator, developed with the Department of Information Technology, was described as operational, with publicizing it to follow. The director agreed to send commissioners information on accessing it for public outreach.
