Please see message below. Your property taxes do not go to the Road Commission. We are funded primarily through the state-collected gas tax and vehicle registration fees. Those revenues have been going down for years, while the cost of maintaining road has been skyrocketing. Additionally, it is a long-standing policy of the Road Commission that, due to insufficient funding, we do not resurface subdivision streets unless the residents of the street are willing to pay for the project through a special assessment district (SAD). If you are interested in learning about the SAD process, please call the Road Commission at 877-858-4804. Thank you.

It's a mystery to me that this has been left for so long.. My husband called the Road Commission about this and was asked if he thought the residents would be willing to pay for the resurfacing. Where are our taxes going if not to those roads that are in bad shape?
