Winnebago County approves 2025 drainage levies
Summary
Winnebago County Board of Supervisors approved the county's 2025 drainage levies by voice vote after brief staff remarks about billing and parcel impacts.
The Winnebago County Board of Supervisors voted to approve the county's 2025 drainage levies during its regular meeting (date not specified). The motion to approve the levies was seconded and adopted by voice vote.
County staff noted the levies carry a large dollar amount in aggregate but that some costs fall on only a few parcels, meaning individual landowners may receive unexpectedly large bills. Staff said their long-standing practice of sending personalized letters has reduced follow-up calls, but acknowledged they do not review every district every time and that some larger bills could arrive without prior notice to affected landowners.
No public opposition to the levies was recorded during the discussion and no amendments to the proposal were made. The clerk proceeded with the resolution paperwork after the board's approval.
The board did not specify a total levy amount or show an itemized roll during the public portion of the discussion. Staff indicated payment-plan options exist for a small number of payers but said most recipients do not pursue them.
The board's action was recorded as an approving voice vote; formal paperwork for the levies will be completed following the meeting.
