Neenah moves forward with potential wheel tax to replace repealed street fee
NEENAH, Wis. (WFRV) – The City of Neenah is one step closer to implementing a new wheel tax after officially eliminating its controversial Transportation Assessment Replacement Fee (TARF). The TARF, which required each homeowner to pay a $40 annual fee to help maintain roads and sidewalks, was repealed after facing legal challenges. Now, the city is considering a $30 annual wheel tax on vehicle owners to replace the funding previously collected through the TARF. 'The wheel tax is estimated to bring in just over $800,000, which is what the TARF brought in,' said Neenah Mayor Jane Lang. 'It's really swapping one for the other.' If approved at the next city council meeting, the wheel tax would go into effect in 2026. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
