Des Moines County Board schedules property tax-levy public hearing for March 31
Summary
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors set a public hearing on the proposed 2026 property tax levy for 9 a.m. March 31 in the courthouse board room and directed the budget director to publish the required notice and estimated summary.
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors voted to set a public hearing on the proposed 2026 property tax levy for 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, in the board room at the Des Moines County Courthouse. Budget Director Cheryl McVey presented Resolution #2026-014 and the board approved the measure following a motion by Member Jim Cary and a second from Vice Chair Tom Broeker.
The board directed the Des Moines County Budget Director to publish the notice and the required estimated summary "as required by law," per the resolution. The action formalizes the timetable for public comment and for any subsequent adjustments to the county's proposed levy.
The hearing comes as county officials briefed the board on other budget- and election-related matters earlier in the meeting: County Auditor Sara Doty reported the primary-election filing period began the previous day and closes March 20 at 5:00 p.m., and Budget Director Cheryl McVey gave an update on an upcoming HF718 tax mailing. The board did not amend the levy schedule at the meeting; it only fixed the hearing date and directed publication of the notice.
Resolution #2026-014 was approved without recorded opposition. The next procedural step is the public hearing on March 31, where residents may comment before any final levy action by the board.
