Jackson County Courthouse
(KNZA)--The Jackson County Commission has adopted a 2026 county budget that calls for total expenditures of nearly $23.3 million and a more than two mill property tax levy decrease.
The action came on a 2-1 vote following a hearing drawing no public comment at a special evening session on September 11th.
The Holton Recorder reports Commission Chairman Mark Pruett cast the dissenting vote. He didn't think a revenue neutral budget was a good idea because county expenses continue to increase each year.
The budget contains an estimated tax rate of 70.458 mills, which is the county's revenue neutral rate.
The budget calls for the county to collect more than $11.4 million in tax revenue, which is about $15,000 less than under this year's budget.
