Taylor council approves 1% property administration fee for 2026 tax bills
Summary
Council approved a 1% administrative fee to appear on 2026 property tax bills; the finance director said it is a one-time 1% fee on the tax bill (not taxable value) permitted by the Michigan Property Tax Act.
The City of Taylor council voted to include a 1% property administration fee on 2026 property tax bills during its April 23 meeting. The motion to approve the fee was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The director of budget and finance explained that under the Michigan Property Tax Act the city may assess a 1% administrative fee on tax collections, calculated on the total tax liability rather than taxable value. As an example, the director said a $400 tax bill would carry a $4 administrative fee. Councilors confirmed the fee is not a recurring annual increase of 1% to taxes but the assessment that must be authorized at the council level.
