Geary County Commissioners have given their approval to the 2022 county budget. Commission Chair Trish Giordano confirmed the property tax levy dropped slightly....less than one mill. But it is over the new revenue neutral rate. "This is a new truth in taxing from Senate Bill 13 just to show that even though we're not raising the mill levy taxes go up slightly because the valuation of the properties are going up."
The mill levy drops 0.175 mills. The county commission trimmed approximately $1.7 million or approximately seven mills to get down to their 2022 spending level.
