You’re seeing the plan, not the receipts. These are the dollar figures the County Commission adopted for budget year 2027 — what the county intends to spend. After the year ends in June 2027, the county publishes what was actually spent. We’ll show that here too, line by line, so you can tap a category and see the real projects behind the numbers.

Property tax rates are set separately from the budget, and later in the year. This budget was built assuming no increase. The rate shown is the most recent one the Commission has adopted: 9.575 mills, levied for the 2025 tax year — the fifth straight annual reduction. The Commission sets each year's rate in late summer, once the Tax Digest is complete.
