(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners reviewed the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget proposals to finalize the advertisement for the public hearing when they met August 23.
Commissioners voted to approve the 1 percent additional budget authority allowed by state statute. A public budget hearing was scheduled for Wednesday, September 13, at 10 a.m. and a public heairng will be held the same day at 10:15 a.m. to receive input on setting the property tax levy at a rate other than the rate the previous year.
Following the budget review, the preliminary budget calls for expenditures of $20,322,510, a decrease of just over $1 milion amounting to 4.9 percent. However, the total tax requirement is proposed at $114,513, an increase of 1.99 percent. That amount would require a tax levy of 33.24 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, a decrease of 4.07 cents or 11 percent from last year.
