What are the various taxing entities?
The City Treasurer collects the taxes on behalf of all the other taxing entities, including Wayne County, the Taylor School District, the State of Michigan, and the Wayne County Intermediate School District, and disburses the taxes to those other entities at regular intervals. Less than one-half of the taxes are levied by the City. Taxes pay for approximately 50% of the services provided by the various taxing entities.
