Sherburne County commissioners are poised to adopt a $103 million budget for 2021.
County Administrator Bruce Messelt went over the proposed budget and levy during a truth in taxation public hearing on Dec. 3, where the county also fielded questions and comments from four citizens. The County Board will consider adopting the 2021 budget and levy on Dec. 15.
To help fund the proposed $103 million budget, the county is looking at levying $52 million in property taxes. Thatâs up 3.4% over the 2020 levy.
It is, however, less than half of what the estimated 7% growth in the countyâs tax base is due to new construction and the increase in the values of homes and businesses, Messelt noted.
