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

The Commission recently approved the budget for publication.

It contains a estimated tax rate of 32.69 mills which is to generate nearly $5.7 million in property tax revenue.

Even though the mill levy will decrease, the county will be collecting more than $270,000 in additional revenue due to a more than $12 million increase in the county’s assessed valuation.  

The Commission will consider adoption of the budget following a public hearing at 9:00 the morning of August 7th in the Commissioner’s room at the Brown County Courthouse.
