Sioux County adopts 2015–2016 budget, sets $890,000 property tax request
Summary
On Sept. 1, 2015 the Sioux County Board unanimously adopted the fiscal 2015–2016 budget, approving a $890,000 property tax request and a proposed tax rate of .163478 after a public hearing with no public comment.
The Sioux County Board of Commissioners adopted the 2015–2016 budget by unanimous roll‑call vote on Sept. 1, 2015. County Clerk Michelle Zimmerman presented the budget; a public hearing was opened and closed with no comments before the board passed the Resolution of Adoption and Appropriations.
The adopted budget requires a property tax request of $890,000 and results in a proposed tax rate of .163478. The board also approved a one‑percent increase in the base limitation of restricted funds as permitted under state law and adopted the budget document as the county’s appropriations for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015.
Why it matters: the appropriation sets county spending limits for the fiscal year and establishes the property tax request used to set tax notices. County officials followed state‑required procedures including a public hearing and formal roll‑call resolutions.
Next steps: the budget will be implemented beginning July 1, 2015; related levy and notice procedures will follow statutory timelines. The board noted that the public hearing produced no public comments at the scheduled time.
