The current budget, the 2023 fiscal year budget, runs from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2023.

The Board of County Commissioners adopted the 2023 budget on Sept. 1, 2022. County Manager Penny Postoak Ferguson initially presented the proposed 2023 budget to the BOCC on May 12, 2022.

The budget includes an estimated mill levy of 24.568 mills, a decrease of nearly one mill.  This is comprised of the County Taxing District at 17.744 mills, Library Taxing District at 3.808 mills, and the Park and Recreation Taxing District at 3.016 mills.

The 2023 County Taxing District mill levy of 17.744 mills would be that taxing district’s lowest mill levy rate since 2014. The budget totals $1.65 billion, with the proposed Capital Improvement Program totaling $264 million.

2023 Adopted Budget

Development of the fiscal year budget takes places from January-August. The County Manager and Budget and Financial Planning staff present a proposed version of the budget to the BOCC in May.

The budget is later modified following a series of work sessions by the BOCC. A public hearing takes place in August, and the BOCC then adopts the final budget in September.

Public hearings for the budget are required each August, and if the county is to exceed the revenue neutral rate, a revenue neutral rate hearing is also required. This means that the county’s property tax revenue is to increase – even if the mill levy rate goes down.

If the county intends to exceed the revenue neutral rate in a given year, an estimated tax notice would be mailed to property owners with this information. You can learn more on our estimated tax notice webpage.

Public hearings took place in August 2022 before the 2023 budget was adopted.
