McPherson County adopts 2024–25 budget, sets final tax request
Summary
The McPherson County Board unanimously adopted the 2024–25 budget and set a final property tax request of $956,042.23, a $69,034.89 increase from last year, producing a county tax rate of .242605 per $100 of assessed value.
The McPherson County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt the county’s 2024–25 budget and set a final property tax request of $956,042.23 during a Sept. 19 special meeting and budget hearing. Commissioners John E. Bryant, Brett Nason and Jeff Arensdorf voted to approve the budget and related resolutions; there were no members of the public in attendance to comment at either hearing.
The board noted the tax request represents a $69,034.89 increase over the prior year and, combined with other revenue changes, produces an overall operating budget increase of 4.71 percent. The adopted property tax rate was set at .242605 per $100 of assessed value, down from last year’s .252940. The board signed Resolution #2024-13 (Adoption and Appropriations) and Resolution #2024-14 (Property Tax Request) to finalize the action.
County Treasurer Kerri Kramer and County Clerk Kathy Hoberg had three copies of the proposed budget and the aggregate comparison page available for public review during the hearings; no public testimony was offered. The board left each hearing open for the statutorily required 15 minutes before adjourning.
The budget adoption concludes the county’s public hearings for the fiscal year and authorizes appropriation of funds across county departments. The board will implement the approved levy and budget in the coming fiscal year and monitor implementation during regular monthly meetings.
