Herman City Safety Enforcement Area Public Hearing

The board conducted a Truth-in-Taxation public hearing to discuss and adopt a property tax rate that exceeds the certified tax rate. The presentation covered the basics of property tax, the philosophy regarding funding generated by new growth, and current justifications for the requested tax increase, including personnel costs like cost-of-living adjustments and step increases, as well as operational adjustments in dispatch and software. The board ultimately approved a resolution to adopt a tax rate of 0.001491 and moved to consider the fiscal year 2027 budget.
