(KNZA)--The Jackson County Commission is proposing a 2019 county budget of more than $14.4 million that contains a slight mill levy decrease.
The proposed budget contains an estimated tax rate of 75.939 mills, an about 9-tenths of a mill decrease.
The budget calls for the county to collect more than $9 million in local taxes.
Even though the mill levy will decrease slightly, the county will collect nearly $318,000 in additional taxes due to a $5.5 million increase in the county’s assessed valuation.
The Commission will consider adoption of the budget following a public hearing the morning of September 4 at 10:00 in the Commissioner’s room at the Jackson County Courthouse.
