Brown County Courthouse
(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission Monday reviewed a revised budget draft for 2026.
Budget consultant Scot Loyd , joining the meeting via Zoom, went over the revised budget.
Based on revisions made by the Commission last week, Loyd said they have been able to lower the proposed property tax levy increase from 9 mills down to 6 mills.
The Commission has been looking for ways to reduce the proposed mill levy since holding a hearing on the budget August 25
Commissioner Bill Pollock said he would like to see the tax levy remain below the revenue neutral rate.
However, Commission Chairman Lucas Heinen and Commissioner Rich Lehmkuhl said the county needs to build its cash reserves back up, which have dwindled over the years in an effort to keep the mill levy low.
No action was taken on the budget, which will be back on the agenda for their September 15th meeting.
