WASHINGTON COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT MEETS TOMORROW AT 10AM

  

The Washington County Appraisal District will meet tomorrow during their normal time of 10am to consider their proposed 2017-2018 budget among other items.

Beginning with a financial report for the past month, the meeting will move to a public forum.

Once that closes, the ’17-’18 annual budget proposal discussion will hear an increase in most area of expenses, including payroll. The 2016-2017 budget had payroll at $549,805, but the proposed budget for 2017-2018 will bring payroll to $557,191. This is even after the expense for teacher retirement dropped from $10,123 to $2,853 across the two budgets.

The largest increase is in Capital Outlay – Land, Buildings, and Equipment which will nearly double from the steady $11,000 it has been since the 2013-2014 budget to $20,770 for the 2017-2018 budget.

The only proposed decrease would come in Professional and Contracted Services, which would drop $450 from $22,450 to $22,000.

The meeting will be held tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 10am in the Brenham ISD Tax Office Appraisal District Building at 1301 Neibuhr St.
