About the Survey

The 2025/26 Wage and Salary Survey of over 150 titles is available to full member communities who participated in the survey, with automatic access provided to managers, department heads and elected officials.

The searchable database allows users to search by position, population, location, and perform side-by-side comparisons of results from selected municipalities.

The Michigan Municipal League conducts this wage and salary survey for the benefit of our member communities, and it is intended to be used by management employees, their designees, or elected officials working on behalf of member communities for official City/Village/Township business.

Filling out the Survey and Access to the Results

  • Whether your community has filled out the 2025/26 survey or is unsure, please contact us at [email protected] for special credentials to view the results or check on your community’s status.

If you are denied access to view the results, one of these may be the issue:

  • Your position/title of record with the League is not provided automatic access. We provide automatic access to managers/department heads and elected officials and ask that other staff members request access to the survey through their department head or the manager.
  • Your organization is not a full member of the League and therefore is not eligible to participate in the survey nor receive access to view the results. To become a Full Associate member, please inquire here.
