Pacific County commissioners certify 2026 property tax levies after public hearing
Summary
Following a public hearing that included praise for assessor staff work, the board adopted a resolution to certify property tax levies for county and coextensive taxing districts; commissioners credited staff for correcting an initial publishing issue and confirmed numbers before adoption.
Pacific County commissioners held a public hearing and certified property tax levies at the Nov. 25 meeting.
Clerk staff explained procedure and sworn testimony was received from two participants. Staff and commissioners publicly commended county assessor Becky Nessel and clerk staff for producing accurate levy calculations; staff noted this year included a changed levy section that caused some confusion with other agencies, but the issue was resolved before certification.
The board closed the public hearing and moved to adopt resolution number '20 25 dash 0 6 5' "in the matter of certifying taxes levied upon the property and the county for county purposes and for each taxing district within or coextensive with the county for district purposes." The board approved the motion by voice vote. The transcript records that staff verified publication issues for one taxing district were quickly corrected so the district could levy as planned.
The certification formally sets the county and district levies for collection and records the board's action in the county minutes.
