Grant County fiscal court holds hearing and sets 2025–26 property tax rate at $0.114 per $100 assessed value
Summary
After a statutorily required public hearing, the Grant County Fiscal Court accepted a real‑property tax rate of $0.114 per $100 assessed value for fiscal year 2025–26, down from 0.115 last year; officials said new assessments and growth will increase collections by about $160,900.
The Grant County Fiscal Court opened a public hearing on Aug. 5 and then voted to accept a property tax rate of $0.114 per $100 assessed value for fiscal year 2025–26, a slight reduction from last year’s rate of 0.115.
Court officials said the lower rate, combined with new construction and added assessments, is expected to increase collections by about $160,900 compared with the current year. The hearing had been advertised in the Grant County News and was held in compliance with state statutory notice requirements.
Public questions at the hearing addressed a line item described as the county’s “mental health portion.” A questioner who identified herself as a local reporter asked whether the mental‑health assessment is a separate taxing district. County officials said the mental‑health assessment has long been collected, that the funds are disbursed primarily to NorthKey Community Care (the regional provider) at their request, and that a small remaining share supports mental‑health services at the Grant County Detention Center. County staff clarified that the funds are restricted and overseen by the fiscal court’s accounting practices.
Court action: Magistrate Humphrey moved to accept the tax rate; Magistrate Khodar seconded. The court voted unanimously by voice to adopt the 0.114 rate.
Ending: The court closed the hearing and returned to other fiscal‑court business; the adopted rate will be reflected in upcoming budget and tax notices.
