Crawford County holds public hearing on proposed property tax; residents ask about levy rates and Smithfield's future
Summary
At an evening public hearing, four citizens and one written commenter raised questions about levy rates, county revenue and the future of Smithfield; the hearing closed without a levy vote and the Board will consider next steps.
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors held an evening public hearing on the proposed property tax on March 31, 2026. Chair Craig Dozark opened the hearing at 5:30 P.M.; the minutes record one written statement and four citizens in attendance who asked about levy rates, county revenue and economic growth, and the future of Smithfield.
Board members answered procedural questions related to levy rates and revenue but the minutes do not record any formal action or vote on the levy at this meeting. At 6:24 P.M. Supervisor Heiden moved (seconded by Rosburg) to close the hearing; the motion passed unanimously and the Board adjourned the evening session.
The minutes do not specify what, if any, adjustments to levy proposals the Board plans to consider before a future decision, nor do they quote any attendee verbatim. The hearing record indicates public interest on fiscal and local economic questions, but no resolution or change to the proposed tax was adopted at the March 31 meeting.
