Resolution 2025-06

Road & Bridge Levy

Attention Taxpayers:

Notice of Property Tax Increase of $.90 per $1,000 of Taxable Valuation

 

The Governing Board of Perkins County states that it is unable to properly maintain, repair, construct, and reconstruct roads and bridges in Perkins County.  SDCL 10-12-13 now permits the county to establish a tax amount which may be levied, and such amount can increase each year with the amount of inflation and new construction.  Therefore, the board of County Commissioners of Perkins County does now establish a base property tax increase of .90 per $1000 of taxable valuation starting with calendar year 2025 taxes payable in the calendar year 2026 and ending in calendar year 2026 taxes payable in the calendar year 2027.  This action has been taken by the board and approved by at least a two-thirds vote of the Board of County Commissioners.

 

This decision may be referred to a vote of the people upon a petition signed by at least five percent of the registered voters in the County and filed with the governing body within twenty days of the second publication of this decision.

 

Unless this action is referred to a vote of the people and reversed by such vote, this resolution authorizes the county auditor to spread a levy to raise tax dollars in the above stated amount, allowing for percentage increases from inflation and new construction in subsequent years.

 

Dated this 10th day of June, 2025 

 

Approved by Perkins County Commission

 

Aye – 5            Nay - 0
