Salary Survey

Group reviewing data at a table

Local governments are challenged to attract and retain qualified employees, often competing with each other and the private sector. Local government salaries are constantly under review and pay plans are periodically compared to market and updated. This provides an opportunity for local governments to share services as they look for comparative pay data and process multiple survey requests.

All MARC member cities and counties are invited to submit their data by Sept. 30, 2026, for FREE access to reporting and comparisons among all participating communities before the nominal fee for this service is reinstated in 2027.
