Huntingburg council introduces 2026 budget, schedules final adoption for Oct. 28
Summary
Council members introduced the proposed 2026 budget (stated in the meeting as $13,532,347) and an estimated tax rate (stated as about $0.968 per $100 assessed value), set a final adoption hearing for Oct. 28 and directed staff to advertise the hearing.
The Huntingburg City Common Council introduced the proposed 2026 budget at its Oct. 1 meeting and scheduled a final adoption hearing for Oct. 28. Staff presented the proposed budget total as 13,532,347 (as stated in the meeting transcript) and described the estimate of an effective tax rate of roughly 0.968 per $100 of assessed value; staff emphasized the rate remains an estimate and the final rate will be set later when assessed values are finalized.
City staff explained they used conservative assessed‑value assumptions in preparing the estimate (staff said they used an assessed value around $200 million for calculations while noting assessed value could be as high as $283,562,597). Council members moved to introduce the budget ordinance (referred to in meeting materials as Ord. 202527) and the motion carried; final adoption is scheduled for the Oct. 28 council meeting with required advertising and public notice.
No public comment was offered during the hearing. Council members said they will continue to review materials before the final hearing and invited questions or suggested changes prior to Oct. 28.
