(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission is proposing a 2019 county budget of $13.5 million that contains a nearly 2.6 mill levy decrease.
The Commission approved the budget for publication last week.
The proposed budget contains an estimated tax rate of 43.095 mills.
The budget calls for the county to collect nearly $7.9 million in local taxes.
Even through the property tax levy will decrease, the county will collect nearly $367,000 in additional taxes over last year due to a more than $18 million increase in the county’s assessed valuation.
The Commission will consider adoption of the budget following a public hearing during their September 24 meeting. The hearing will take place at 10:00 in the morning in the commissioner’s room at the county courthouse.
