Summary

Curry County Board of Commissioners voted 3-0 on June 30, 2025, to adopt the county'wide fiscal year 2526 budget, approve a property tax rate of 0.5996 per $1,000 of assessed value, adopt several agency budgets and approve a public transit contract. The meeting began at 1:02 p.m. and adjourned at 1:10 p.m.
The board adopted a resolution imposing the real property tax rate provided for in the adopted FY2526 budget at a rate of 0.5996 per $1,000 of assessed value. The commissioners also approved the county'wide FY2526 budget, the Curry County 4-H and Extension Services FY2526 budget, the Curry County Public Transit Service District FY2526 budget, the SAIF proposal for FY2526, and a contract for Curry public transit. Each motion carried unanimously, with votes recorded as three in favor, none opposed.
Why it matters: the actions set the county'level spending plans for the coming fiscal year and establish the property tax rate that applies to assessed property values in Curry County. The approved budgets cover general county operations as well as specific programs and the public transit district; the public transit contract authorizes continuing transit services under the terms discussed at the meeting (contract amount and vendor not specified in the record).
