This coming March, a renewal for a tax that supports operating costs at WCC will be on local ballots.
The current tax, which affects property owners in Washtenaw County, expires in 2020. The WCC board of trustees voted to renew the tax during its October meeting.
This tax is estimated to raise $17.5 million in its first year and is one of several local property taxes. Local property taxes provide nearly half of the college’s income, supporting the college’s total budget of $112.7 million. The next biggest source of income is from tuition costs.
The tax renewal was presented to the board as an inactive discussion item, but the board passed a motion to make the item active and voted unanimously to approve the renewal.
