Judge files FY2026 proposed budget; staff says proposal uses no‑new‑revenue M&O and shows $3.823M in increased property tax revenue
Summary
The judge filed the proposed FY2026 budget (filed Aug. 8). Staff reported the plan uses the no‑new‑revenue maintenance & operations rate and projects $3.823M more in property tax revenue than last year; a public hearing is set for Aug. 25.
County staff confirmed the judge filed the proposed FY2026 budget on Aug. 8 and provided a revenue summary to the commissioners. The package uses the no‑new‑revenue M&O rate; staff said the proposed budget would raise $3,823,132 more in property taxes than last year (an overall 4.8% increase in property tax revenue) and listed proposed rates: M&O 0.178562, Debt Service 0.056460, Lateral Road & Bridge 0.050048, for a proposed total rate of 0.285070 (current total 0.299238).
Staff said the proposed budget is a conservative operating proposal that carries forward prior year salary and benefit levels and does not include new capital, IT, or salary increases until later budget sessions; the court scheduled the required public hearing for Aug. 25.
