LINCOLN COUNTY APPROVES 2027 BUDGET
The Lincoln County Board unanimously approved its 2027 budget Tuesday as figures reflected minimal change from the draft presented in October.
The property tax levy is approximately $13.6 million, an increase of about $300,000 from the previous year. However, the average mill rate is projected to decline, reflecting growth in equalized property values and a net 1.3% new construction increase.
The budget also includes additional EMS funding tied to the new joint agreement with Merrill.
