Christian County certifies 2025 tax levies; assessed values pending
Summary
County clerk presented the 2025 levy certifications to be submitted to the collector and commissioners voted to certify the levies. The clerk noted assessed values for 2025 were not yet available and will be added after month-end reports.
Christian County’s clerk brought the county’s 2024 and draft 2025 tax levy certifications to the commission on Sept. 25 and commissioners voted to certify the levies for submission to the collector.
County Clerk Paula told commissioners she had prepared both the 2024 and 2025 forms and certified the levies to the state officer’s office, but that “the assessed value for 2025 is not there yet” and will be added after running end-of-month reports. Commissioners moved and approved the clerk’s report and the levy certification by voice vote.
Presiding Commissioner Lynn A. Morris noted the commission has kept the county levy unchanged for three consecutive years while the county’s property valuations increased and sales tax receipts fell in some years; she referenced the Hancock Amendment as the constitutional context limiting levy increases.
The certification voted at the meeting authorizes the collector to print tax statements consistent with the certified levies; the meeting record does not list a dollar amount for the 2025 assessed value.
