Allamakee County board adopts FY27 budget and certifies tax levies
Summary
On April 20, 2026 the Allamakee County Board of Supervisors adopted the fiscal year 2026–2027 budget, certified tax levies (General Basic 3.62899; Rural Basic 3.48831; Debt Service 0.28), and authorized the county auditor to file the approved budget.
The Allamakee County Board of Supervisors on April 20 unanimously adopted the county’s FY2026–2027 budget and certified the corresponding property tax levies following a public hearing.
Supervisor Dan Byrnes read the levy rates into the record: "General Basic Fund levy 3.62899, General Supplemental Fund levy 2.54374, Debt Service Fund levy 0.28, Rural Basic Fund levy 3.48831," and the board moved to adopt the budget and certificate of taxes (motion 26.160). The roll call vote on the budget resolution was recorded as Keatley-aye, Byrnes-aye, Clark-aye.
The board also set county library support for FY27 at a $4,000 base per library plus $0.152 per $1,000 of valuation and approved an additional $750 for each of four smaller libraries in Harpers Ferry, Lansing, New Albin and Waterville (motion 26.159). Those allocations were approved as part of the budget actions.
Tom Clark, chair of the board, and Denise Beyer, Allamakee County Auditor, were authorized to sign and file the approved budget and to establish accounting records in accordance with the attached schedules, as required by the resolution adopting the budget. According to the resolution, fund balances and carryovers were considered when setting levies.
The public hearing on the proposed FY27 budget had been opened earlier in the meeting (motion 26.155) and closed before the adoption vote (motion 26.156). The Auditor will file the certified budget with the appropriate authorities and implement the accounting schedules adopted by the board.
The board completed related administrative items later in the meeting, including acceptance of quarterly reports and several ministerial approvals before adjourning (motion 26.167).
