The Montgomery County Commission discusses a 14% tax increase for 2027 and hears citizen comments on the issue.
At this morning’s meeting, the County followed its legal obligation to notify the County Clerk of the intent to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate for next year’s budget. The current mill levy is 39.948 but will be increased to 46 mills. Commissioners say they began budget talks for 2027 at 52 mills but have cut $3 million from that budget to arrive at what currently would be a 14% tax increase.
They say that they will continue to search for costs that can be cut. A Public Hearing for the budget was set for August 31st. For full details on today’s meeting, tune into to KGGF News at 7:00am tomorrow.
