(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has approved for publication a proposed 2021 budget of $11.2 million that calls for a slight decrease in the property tax levy.
The Commission took the action when they met Monday.
The proposed budget contains an estimated tax rate of 31.038 mills, a .433 mill decrease over this year.
The mill levy is expected to generate $6.4 million in revenue.
Even though the mill levy will decrease slightly, the county will collect nearly $168,000 in additional tax revenue due to a $8.1 million increase in the county's assessed valuation.
The Commission will consider adoption of the budget following a public hearing at their August 10 meeting.
