BROWN COUNTY OKS PROPOSED LEVY INCREASE

Brown County Commissioners set the 2025 proposed tax levy at $17,978,725 which is an 8.99% increase over the 2024 certified levy Tuesday.  Brown County expenditures are primarily due to wages and benefits, new positions including an information technology admin assistant, human resources generalist and deputy sheriff as well as increased goods, services and insurance costs.  The vote was a 3-2 margin.  A public meeting on the proposed 2025 county budget and levy was set for Tuesday, December 3 at 6 pm in the District Courtroom on the third floor of the Brown County Courthouse.
