(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has adopted a 2018 county budget of $10.2 million that calls for a less than one mill decrease in the property tax levy.

The action came following a hearing Monday drawing no public comment.

The budget calls for the county to collect nearly $5.7 million in local taxes.

Even though the mill levy will decrease, the county will collect more than $270,000 in additional property tax revenue due to a $12 million increase in the county's assessed valuation.
