HUBBARD COUNTY BOARD APPROVES 2022 BUDGET AND A LEVY INCREASE OF 3.88% OVER THE 2021 LEVY


The Hubbard County Board of Commissioners passed a budget for 2022 with total expenditures of $47,939,807 and total revenues of $44,167,771 that include a levy of $16,050,000. This levy is an increase of $600,000 or 3.88% over the 2021 levy of $15,450,000. There was no levy increase in 2021 so the 2022 increase essentially covers two years’ worth of changes.
This final levy increase is down from the preliminary increase of 4.6% approved by the board in September.
Drivers of the increase in operating expenses are additional staff positions in social services, environmental services, highway department and IT services needed to keep pace with demand for county services.
