Douglas County budget eyes 6.8 percent real estate rise
The 2024 forecast shows a 6.8 percent rise in the total assessed value for real estate and personal property, up from 10.98 percent last year, signaling higher county tax bills despite a steady tax rate. The budget allocates 2.8 million for housing projects with DCCCA Cardinal Housing Network Ninth Street Missionary Baptist Church and the City of Lawrence and 600,000 for a Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool. Commissioners will review at least 50 funding requests totaling 20.1 million, separate from the proposed budget, with hearings 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Wednesday and deliberations July 11, then Aug 7 and Aug 28 finalizing the plan.
