Mifflin County adopts 2025 budget with no millage increase
Summary
The Mifflin County Commissioners adopted the 2025 budget and Resolution 52-2024 fixing tax rates, keeping the general county millage at 50.77 mills and retaining a $5 per-capita fee; commissioners said grant revenue explains the larger total budget figure.
Mifflin County commissioners adopted the county’s 2025 budget on a voice vote after approving Resolution 52-2024, which sets the general county millage at 50.77 mills and preserves a $5 per-capita fee. Chair (unnamed) said the millage rate is unchanged from last year and noted the county has not increased millage for eight years.
Commissioners discussed why the budget’s total dollar figures rose compared with 2024. A commissioner explained the increase largely reflects new grant awards that must be accounted for in both revenues and expenditures: "Whenever you get a grant, you have to account for it in your budget," the commissioner said. The board adopted the budget after a motion and voice vote.
The board also approved Resolution 52-2024, which appropriates specific sums estimated to be required for county government operations in 2025. Commissioners said the adopted budget will be posted on the county website.
The action was procedural and final: the budget adoption was approved by the board at the meeting. No changes to millage were proposed during the session; commissioners emphasized the county’s intent to maintain current tax rates while managing grant-funded spending.
