(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has adopted the 2020 county budget as published.
That came following a hearing Monday drawing no public comment.
It contains an estimated tax rate of 42.436 mills, a .699 mill decrease from this year’s budget.
It calls for the county to collect $8.2 million in local taxes.
Even though the mill levy will decrease slightly the county will collect about $345,000 in additional tax revenue due to a nearly $11 million increase in the county’s assessed valuation.
The county’s tax levy has gone down six consecutive years.
