Fillmore County adopts 2025–26 budget and sets property tax request
Summary
The Fillmore County Board of Supervisors adopted the county budget for July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026, and set the 2025–26 property tax request, including a proposed tax rate of $0.218522 per $100 of assessed value.
The Fillmore County Board of Supervisors adopted the county budget for fiscal year July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and voted to set the county's 2025–26 property tax request during its Sept. 23 meeting in Geneva.
The board adopted Resolution 2025–20, approving the budget as presented and authorizing offices and departments to expend appropriated amounts. The board then adopted Resolution 2025–21, which sets the property tax request at specified fund amounts and proposes a tax rate of $0.218522 per $100 of assessed value.
The county opened a public hearing on the proposed county budget at 9:05 a.m. and, after the board and county clerk reviewed budget documents and no members of the public testified, Chairman Jeff Neiman closed the hearing at 9:12 a.m. County Clerk Amy Nelson was present; Greg Scellin of the Nebraska Signal attended.
Resolution 2025–21 sets the 2025–26 property tax request at $6,037,460.65 for the General Fund; $156,248.05 for the Road Building Fund; $69,360.03 for the Ag Society Building Fund; and $113,327.38 for the Hospital Operating Fund. The resolution notes the county’s total assessed value differs from last year by 4.18 percent, and that the operating budget represents a 9.16 percent increase from last year’s budget.
All motions and resolutions were adopted unanimously: Ayes — Larry Cerny, Ralph Graham, Kenny Harre, Mark Lightwine, Jeff Neiman, Merle Noel and Wade Sluka; Nays — none.
The actions were procedural formal adoptions of the budget and the property tax request; no public testimony was received at the advertised hearing.
