Budget Summary

2023 Budget by the Numbers

The Fiscal Year 2023 budget covers county income and expenditures from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. The budget is based on a taxation rate of 12 mills of the county’s assessed value of $2.5 billion. The county’s total assessed value increased $1.3 billion from the year prior, generating an additional $12 million more in tax money for this budget above the year before.

The county budget includes general fund expenditures, money held in reserve accounts, and appropriations for entities receiving portions of the county’s 12-mill levy.
