Greeley County adopts 2016–2017 budget and lowers its tax rate
Summary
After a public hearing, the Greeley County Board approved the 2016–2017 budget, set the county property tax request at $1,583,659 and adopted a proposed tax rate of 0.164423, noting the rate is lower than the prior year; the board also approved exceeding lid growth by 1%.
At a Sept. 13 public hearing the Greeley County Board reviewed the proposed fiscal-year 2016–2017 budget and set the county property tax request at $1,583,659, a proposed tax rate of 0.164423. The board recorded that the proposed rate is lower than the 2015–2016 rate of 0.199895.
Commissioner Doug Wrede moved to approve exceeding the levy lid by an additional 1% growth for the fiscal year 2016–2017; Commissioner Michael Goldfish seconded the motion and the board approved it. The board then voted to adopt the 2016–2017 budget as advertised and to set the 2016–2017 county tax rate different than the prior year.
The minutes show no public testimony in opposition during the hearing. County staff and the county’s CPA reviewed the numbers at a prior meeting; the minutes list the property tax request, proposed rate and that the board accepted the budget after public notice and hearing.
Next steps: The board adopted the budget and finalized the tax request; county staff will proceed with standard levy certification and fiscal-year implementation.
