Patrick County schedules budget public hearing and sets real-estate tax rate at $0.73
Summary
The board set the proposed FY 2026–27 budget's public hearing for April 13 and approved setting the real-estate tax rate at 73¢ per $100 of assessed value; the administrator presented a budget draft the board described as under budget by $21,233.
County administrator Doug McGinnis (Speaker 1) presented the proposed FY 2026–27 budget and said the draft was approximately $21,233 under the target figure. He outlined the schedule for public engagement: a budget work session on March 23, a public hearing on April 13, an optional work session on April 27, and a final vote on May 11, contingent on receiving final numbers from constitutional officers and schools.
The board also set the real-estate tax rate at 73¢ per $100 of assessed value for FY 2026–27. The motion to set the rate was moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote. "Can I have a motion to set the real estate tax rate at 73¢?" the chair asked; the board then voted in favor. The public hearing on the budget was similarly scheduled by motion and approved.
