Yellowstone County sets school mill levy at 79.2 mills
Summary
The board voted to set the school mill levy at a combined 79.2 mills (77.9 plus 1.3 LTAP), following discussion of Department of Revenue guidance and prior calculation practices.
The Yellowstone County Board of County Commissioners voted Oct. 3 to set the county’s school mill levy at 79.2 mills, a package that combines the base calculation with a 1.3-mill LTAP component.
Commissioners reviewed a Department of Revenue letter about allowable levies and debated whether previous calculations had overstated the levy. After clarifying the components, a commissioner moved to approve Resolution 23-108 adopting a 79.2-mill levy; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
No public testimony related to the mill-levy setting was recorded in the meeting’s minutes. The action establishes the levy for the current tax cycle per county procedures and staff instructions.
