Residents

Welcome to the City of Wayland. We offer our residents information regarding important and useful things in our City.

We have a calendar outlining our schedule and upcoming events. Feel free to take a look and stay up to date with meetings schedules and activities.

The Chamber of Commerce is an independent, private, non-profit organization financed by its members to promote business and advocate on their behalf. It is not a government agency and is autonomous from the City of Wayland.

Since 2016, we have had the ability to distribute dog licenses! For more information, click Dog Licenses on the left-hand menu.

Our Downtown on Main street is a great place to get involved, experience our city, and do business. Check out Downtown Wayland.

The City of Wayland does NOT provide grass clipping or yard waste disposal services. Research recommends that clippings be left on the lawn to absorb back into the soil or composted with other natural yard waste. Michigan State Law prohibits yard waste in landfills, so please do not place grass clippings in your trash cart.

Henika District Library is our local library in Wayland. Learn more about the library and its events on the library’s website.

Recycling is important to the City of Wayland and we offer information on how and when to recycle on the Recycling page.

The City of Wayland makes it a priority to be transparent about where your tax money goes. Read about how your tax dollars are being used to impact our community under Tax Information on the left-hand menu.

Schools are building into our future generations! Learn about Wayland schools in our area at waylandunion.org.

Consumers Energy has information on financial assistance to help with your energy bill. Please see the information below: 

“I wanted to share some new info for customers who may qualify for additional financial assistance under a new Michigan Department of Health and Human Services policy that is under effect. The state emergency relief dollars can help customers who qualify for a maximum of $500 on energy bills that are past due. Feel free to pass thing along and help connect these customers who may need it most.

The one-time federal funds disbursed at the state level are distributed to customers who apply and whose household income is 150% of the federal poverty level [liheapch.acf.gov] or below. Beginning July 7, new customer applicants who haven’t received relief in Fiscal Year 2025, which ends Sept. 30, are eligible to receive the $500 per commodity cap, regardless of their past-due balance. Previous SER recipients who have already received funding since October 1, 2024—but haven’t reached the $500 per commodity cap—can apply for the remaining amount starting July 11 through Sept. 30. These payments may result in a credit on the customer’s account.

Customers can apply and check eligibility at: My Bridges – State Emergency Relief – see if you qualify or to apply [newmibridges.michigan.gov]. Be sure to select “SER.”

More information is in the attached press release, if you have questions, please let me know.

Thanks!
