High PriorityTaxes Budgetopen

County finances and TRAN loan

Summary

The county will finish the year roughly break-even but needs a short-term tax anticipation loan because delayed PEMA money (~$5.5M) and a $2 million land sale haven't arrived. Some departments are already at 90% of budget, and staff are being asked to cut again in 2027.
