2019 House Bill 5252

Authorize city income tax hike in Flint

Introduced in the House

Nov. 13, 2019

Introduced by Rep. Sheldon Neeley (D-34)

To permit Flint to increase the income tax it imposes on residents and people who work in the city to a rate that is higher than allowed for other cities with an income tax (except for Detroit, Saginaw, Highland Park and Grand Rapids). Under current law, with those exceptions cities may impose an income tax of 1% on residents, 0.5% on people who work in the city, and 1% on businesses. Under the bill Flint could increase those rates to 1.5% on residents, 0.75% on people who work in the city, and 1.5% on businesses.

Referred to the Committee on Local Government and Municipal Finance
