When are tax bills available?  How much will my tax bill be?

Winter tax bills are payable December 1 through February 28. Summer tax bills are payable July 1 through August 10. Both current tax and late tax payments are accepted at City Hall through February 28, subject to a penalty fee. After February 28, taxes are payable through the Wayne County Treasurers office only.  For late payments, please contact the Wayne County Treasurer at https://www.waynecounty.com/elected/treasurer/pay-taxes-online.aspx
