The 2026 tax rate for City operating millage is proposed to be 10.1240 mills, which is .0724
mills less than the 2025 operating tax rate. The City Commission has the authority under the
City Charter to set the operating millage rate, within the maximum allowed rate of 10.1240
mills, as adjusted by the Headlee millage roll-back formula.
The 2026 tax rate for debt service millage to fund debt service requirements for the 2020 and
2024 General Obligation and Limited Tax General Obligation refunding bond issues is
proposed to be 1.6800 mills, which is same as the 2025 tax rate.
The 2026 tax rate for City solid waste and recycling millage is proposed to be 1.8200 mills
which is the same as the 2025 tax rate.
The total City millage for all purposes is proposed to be 13.6240 mills for 2026, which is .0724
mills less than the 2025 total City tax rate.
Property Tax Administration Fee
Pursuant to Section 211.44(3) of the General property Tax law a property tax administration
fee of 1% is proposed to be levied on the total of all property taxes levied, both real and
personal, on both the Summer Levy due July 1, 2026 and the Winter Levy due December 1,
2026.
Equalization Factors
Wayne County established tentative 2026 equalization factors of 1.0000 for the residential
class of property, 1.0000 for the commercial class of property and 1.0000 for the industrial
class of property. Since the City has adjusted assessments for all property classes for 2025 by
the proposed factors, all 2026 equalization factors will be set at 1.0000.
