(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission is proposing a 2018 budget of $11.4 million that calls for a 1.8 mill decrease in the property tax levy.
The Commission approved the proposed budget for publication this week.
It calls for the county to collect $5.6 million in local taxes, a nearly $9,800 reduction over this year.
The county was able to lower the mill levy due to a $5 million increase in the county’s assessed valuation.
The proposed budget contains an about $110,000 increase in funding for the county road and bridge department and around $59,000 increase for the sheriff’s department.
The Commission will consider adoption of the budget following a public hearing 9:00 in the morning of August 14th in the Commissioners room.
