Do homeowners in private road subdivisions pay twice for road maintenance: once through County taxes and a 2nd time through association fees?
County property tax revenue is not utilized for road maintenance. Wayne County utilizes its share of the State of Michigan gas tax to maintain the county road system. Homeowner associations with private roads assess their homeowners a fee to maintain the subdivision’s roads.
