Serving Lincoln County for more than a century!
DAVENPORT–County residents will see a 1% increase in their property taxes next year. As is a typical annual practice, the Lincoln County Commissioners approved a 1% bump at their regular meeting Dec. 5.
Government municipalities such as counties, fire districts and school districts are prohibited from raising taxes more than 1% in an annual cycle.
“If we didn’t need the money, we wouldn’t do it,” commissioner Rob Coffman commented while noting that a 1% raise equates to very little money received compared to the expenses that face the county every year.
The certified tax levy was another step toward the commissioners finalizing the 2023 budget, which must be completed by the end of the year.
