(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission on Monday adopted the 2021 budget as published.

That came following a hearing drawing no public comment.

The budget calls for net expenditures of nearly $13.8 million and a .419 mill decrease in the tax levy.

It contains an estimated tax rate of 42.017 mills, which is expected to generate nearly $8.5 million in local tax revenue.

Even though the mill levy will decrease slightly, the county will collect around $288,000 in additional revenue due to a nearly $8.8 million increase in the county’s assessed valuation.
