(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has adopted a 2016 budget of nearly $15 million that calls for a more than 3 mill decrease in the property tax levy.
The action came after a hearing Monday drawing no public comment.
The budget contains an estimated tax rate of 49.654 mills, which is to generate $7 million.
Even though the mill levy will decrease, the county will collect an additional $145,000 in tax revenue over this year due to an increase in the county’s assessed valuation.
