WAPELLO Although details remain to be settled involving union negotiations and a health insurance change, the effort to complete Louisa County’s Fiscal Year 2022 budget moved forward Tuesday during the board of supervisors regular weekly meeting.
The supervisors held a public hearing and later approved the county’s proposed maximum General Services and Rural Services property taxes and levies for the upcoming budget.
According to the published notice of public hearing, the General Services maximum dollars will be $4.897 million, which will represent a 1.15% increase over the current FY21 certified amount. Based on the county’s new General Services taxable valuation of $749,632,197, the maximum General Services tax levy will be slightly above $6.53 per $1,000 taxable valuation. The FY21 General Services tax levy is $6.62, according to the notice.
