FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): The road funding bill signed into law last week could raise your taxes, depending on where you live.

42 counties already charge a vehicle tax. But the road funding deal gives room to increase it, and for the first time, gives cities the power to impose its own.

Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry’s spokesman, John Perlich, says the city appreciates legislators making an effort to help with local road needs, but says Fort Wayne also needs more time to study if the vehicle tax is the right approach.

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness endorsed the change during the legislative session — he notes it’s a funding source that’s been unavailable to Fishers because the Hamilton County Council hasn’t approved it. But he says he hasn’t decided whether to pursue it. He says he’ll study the pros and cons over the summer.

79 cities are large enough to be eligible for the new taxing authority, from Indianapolis to Plymouth.
