Entities set budget hearings

Wayne County citizens have the opportunity to express their opinions about how tax money is spent locally.

Taxing districts must advertise their proposed 2025 budgets and conduct public hearings before adopting their budgets. Budget information must be posted on the Department of Local Government finance website. Find budget information for Wayne County, the city of Richmond, and the county’s towns, townships, school districts and public library systems at budgetnotices.in.gov/unit_lookup.aspx?ct=89000.

The chart below shows taxing entities that have, as of our September 4, 2024 edition, posted their information on the website, their proposed budgets, scheduled public hearings, the planned dates for budget adoption and the meeting sites.
