Commissioners adopt resolution to seek DLGF approval to lower levy rate
Summary
Parke County commissioners adopted resolution 2026-07 to seek permission from the Department of Local Government Finance to lower the county's levy freeze/income tax rate; the change precedes a public hearing in September and expected adoption in October.
Commissioners considered and approved Resolution 2026-07, which asks the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) for permission to lower the county’s levy freeze/income tax rate. The chair said the resolution follows statutory requirements and is part of a multi-year effort to align the county’s levy with revenue trends.
"We are required by statute to request permission from the Department of Local Government Finance to lower the county's levy freeze income tax rate," the chair said while presenting the resolution. The chair also provided the county’s calculated next-year distribution of income taxes as $426,386,687 (distribution figure stated in the meeting), and said the board will hold a public hearing in September with anticipated adoption in October after DLGF approval.
