Common Council - Regular Meeting

Marion County
Monday, August 31, 2026

The Common Council repealed its existing municipal wheel tax and excise surtax (Proposal #4) and subsequently denied adopting a new city-specific tax (Proposal #5). This decision means Lawrence residents will pay only the county's wheel tax and excise surtax rates starting January 1, 2027, avoiding double taxation.
