Following a Truth in Taxation hearing last week, the board adopted a 2026 property‑tax levy of $106,016,926 and set the 2026 budget; it also approved resolutions setting the sheriff’s and county attorney’s 2026 salaries, all by unanimous vote.

Wright County commissioners adopted the county’s 2026 property‑tax levy and budget on Dec. 16.

Administrator Kreiser noted the county held a Truth in Taxation hearing Dec. 11 and said staff worked through the process with department heads. The board adopted a total levy of $106,016,926 (resolution 25‑82) and subsequently adopted the 2026 budget (resolution 25‑83) after motions and seconding by commissioners; both votes passed unanimously.

The board also set 2026 salaries for the sheriff (resolution 25‑86) and the county attorney (resolution 25‑85) during the same meeting; both resolutions were approved by the board by recorded 'aye' votes and passed unanimously.

Commissioners characterized the budget process as thorough and aimed at minimizing taxpayer impact while maintaining necessary services. No changes to the adopted levy or budget were made at the meeting; staff will proceed with budget implementation in early 2026.
