The 2025 Budget was approved at the Regular Town Board Meeting held on November 6th. Extensive review was done with this year’s budget, months of prep work go into the budget (all budget workshops are open to the public, annually) - first estimates kept the tax level with last year ($2.04 per thousand). Last minute a few adjustments had to be made, including adding a principal and interest payment for the current WD#3 water project loan. In order to keep the tax within the tax levy limit (2%), our budget officer needed to move funds around and adjust sales tax distribution between the General Fund and Highway Fund. This resulted in a decrease in the overall tax rate to $1.86 per thousand. This will be reflected on your tax bill, under Highway Townwide. Those residents that are part of the water district, new and existing, will see an additional "water" line on the 2025 property tax bill. Those funds collected will be put directly to the payment due in 2025, for the on-going water project. Once the project is deemed complete, a final debt service amount will be updated annually to all new and current residents receiving water.
