Sticker Shock Warning: Tax Bills Are Going Up As A Result of The Wayne County RESA Millage

PLYMOUTH-CANTON, MI — Heads up! Tax bills are going up this week due to the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA) millage.

The Wayne County RESA millage is a 2-mill, six-year property tax to support Wayne County schools which voters passed in the Nov. 8 election.

So, how much will taxes jump? Plymouth Township Treasurer Mark Clinton told Hometown Life that a resident with a home that has a $150,000 taxable value can expect their tax bill to surge $300.

Plymouth-Canton Community Schools (P-CCS) will receive roughly $6.7 million dollars in the first year alone from the millage, and P-CCS Superintendent Monica Merritt has big plans for how that money will benefit P-CCS students. At the top of the agenda? Shrinking class sizes and installing tougher school security measures.
