Special Called Meeting Millage Rate Hearing - August 18, 2026

The Douglas County Board of Commissioners held a special called meeting on August 18, 2026, focused on the public hearing for the proposed 2026 millage rate. The county administration presented information explaining that the board is considering maintaining the current millage rate of 12.063 mills, which, due to increased property values, effectively results in a 3.91% property tax increase compared to the rollback rate. The presentation detailed how the millage rate impacts property taxes, exemptions available to residents, and the allocation of tax revenues to various county services. No public comments were made during the hearing, and the board recessed the meeting to reconvene later that evening to adopt the millage rate. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were discussed during this meeting.
